I had a user that couldn;'t open Micrososoft Project on their T40 laptop. Under msconfig/startup, I found this executable running. I isabl;ed i from startup, rebooted, and then was able to open Project without any issues. I have no clue what this is for, but it seems to have been causing the issues this user was having.
