I have uninstalled my ATI software & installed a NVIDIA gpu, but these 2 ATI processes are always running.

Do I need them? And if not how do I get rid of them?

thanks.

Hello jons,
I found this. " Owners of a AMD ATI Radeon video card will notice the four processes ccc.exe, atiedxx.exe, atiesrxx.exe and mom.exe when they open up the Windows task manager. Those processes are installed with the installation of the ATI Catalyst driver package for the Windows operating system. But what are these processes doing or providing and is it really necessary to have them running all the time on the computer system?

Atiedxx.exe and atiesrxx.exe are the AMD External Events Client Module and AMD External Events Service Module. Both processes are executed when the Windows Service AMD External Events Utility is started. This service was known as the ATI Hotkey Poller in Windows XP and Windows Vista.

This means that the service is responsible for providing hotkey access to various ATI features. It is therefor recommended to disable the service if hotkeys are not used to manage ATI features.

Enter [services.msc] in the Windows start menu form or press [Windows R] to enter [services.msc] to open the services configuration menu. Locate the AMD External Events Utility in the list of services. A double-click will open the properties of the service. Make sure to change the startup type from Automatic to Disabled and to Stop the service in the same menu."
I found that here : What Are CCC.Exe, Atiedxx.exe, Atiesrxx.exe, Mom.exe And CLIStart.exe?
Give that a read and take needed action and post back your results so others may learn. Thanks for posting your concerns here.
