rsvp.exe

Hi y'all

as from yesterday an application called rsvp.exe has being running in the background, and when i end the process it automatically opens again.

any ideas what this is? I've checked startup files using msconfig etc. to see where its coming from but to no avail. also deleting it has no effect as it just reappears

Did a quick search and it revealed that under Windows 2000 it means:

rsvp.exe = QoS Admission Control (RSVP)

cheers, i was just wondering why it has only started running in the background now - I havent changed any settings

also a file has been updated (RSVP.EXE-04E70CF3.PF) with this info:

QoS RSVP

Provides traffic control on a network using IPSEC and applications that support QoS, and have an adapter that supports it. The QoS Packet Driver installs by default on any TCP/IP connections. I recommend uninstalling it if it is not needed on your network.

I copied the above "short explanation" of rsvp.exe from BlackViper's Website.

Essentially, you are running a QoS aware application and that is why rsvp.exe suddenly appeared in your task manager.

When I think about background services I think BlackViper.com He has written excellent guides to Windows 2000 and Windows XP background services. With his guides you can determine which services are safe to disable.
