Creative Technology sound card driver (?)
Georg

Came with creative nomad mp3 player

This driver of Creative Audigy 2 sound cards is not dangerous but the cause of a tiresome system error (see Link)
JGWB (further information)

Should be in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers - Part of Creative Sound card drivers
Curio (further information)

Maybe from MP3 player? I did have a Nomad installed on this PC, but this file didn't go away when I uninstalled the driver.

I think I got it when I installed the Creative drivers and soft for the Creative Zen mp3 player.

Possibly came as part of Creative WebCam package, it appears to be not functional although the webcam package works perfectly. It (pfModnt) generates faults in the system log tough.

En Windows XP SP2, Es un Archivo de Sistema que se ejecuta a nivel de la ROOT (Raiz) y corresponde a los controladores que no son Plug and Play, ademas puede ser deshabilitado desde el Panel de Control.

Installed as part of the full software package shipped with Creative Labs Audigy sound cards. If Creative hardware and apps are removed, there may be orphaned registry keys causing errors -- and random, intermittent lock-ups -- when Windows tries to start the associated service and the file is no longer in the Windows/System32/drivers directory. Usually deleting the registry keys containing PfModNT.sys resolves the error.
