I'm surprised I can't find answers to the 4 questions below. Any help here will be very much appreciated. (I think that PowerDVD is far too mysterious -- that's one of the major things that prevents me from upgrading.) Thanks for the help.

1, What does the "CLHNServiceForPowerDVD" service ('CLHNServiceForPowerDVD.exe') do?

2, What does the "CyberLink PowerDVD 11.0 Monitor Service" service ('CLMSMonitorService.exe') do?

3, What does the "CyberLink PowerDVD 11.0 Service" service ('CLMSServerForPDVD11.exe') do?

4, What does the "PowerDVD RC Service" service ('PDVD11Serv.exe') do?

I disabled all the services (via the Services MMC plugin for #1, #2, & #3, and via the registry for #4), then rebooted & confirmed that none of them were running. PowerDVD runs fine. I played DVDs and Blu-rays.

I got interested in this when I experienced sluggish Windows & network behavior and Sysinternals Process Monitor indicated that 'CLMSServerForPDVD11.exe' was thrashing the network.

It's been a week. 185 people have looked at this. No one has anything to contribute.

I guess that pretty much tells the story about obtaining any help with PowerDVD.

Remembere that this is a users forum. This NOT Cyberlink Tech Support. If you want specifics about thow the program works, contact Tech Support.

I have used PowerDVD for many variations and years and never had anything "trash the network).

If you Google for those services, the responses you'l find all say they are safe but will not tell you what they do. bnut you can probably guess.

Hi Steve,

I won't trouble you with my problems, and I don't want to be negative, but it's hard not to be negative regarding Cyberlink.

This is forum.cyberlink.com. I assume someone at Cyberlink is monitoring it. Cyberlink essentially has no meaningful tech support.

They do not answer such questions. I once asked why PDVD reports 23.00 frames/sec and got no sensible answer back. The Cyberlink tech support people don't know anything. All I've ever gotten from them are canned responses that have no bearing on the problems I've had in the past.

"Thrash"... The word is "thrash". It means that 'CLMSServerForPDVD11.exe' is generating nearly continuous network traffic. Some people call it "churning". It supposedly is some sort of server, but what it's serving and why everything still works even after I've stopped all the services listed in the Subject line is a complete mystery to me.

I shouldn't have to guess. It should be explained in a users' manual. I should have a user's manual, but Cyberlink doesn't provide users' manuals. Cyberlink is an incompetent company.

Edit: Just trying to get this rich text edtitor to work properly. Like everything else Cyberlink, this forum doesn't work right.
