File Video0.dat on drive C:

[Pac]

Hello,

can it be, that the mirror driver create a file named Video0.dat on drive c:. The crazy is, that this file has no date, if I looked it with win explorer.

If I want delete this file, I get an error, that I can´t delete it. If I delete it with the program eraser, the file will recreated after two seconds with a random name like kdjeu.domn e.g.

So I thougt, that could be a virus or worm. But no scanner or other programms hadn´t something against the file. So I deinstalled some programms and rebooted. After I deinstalled the mirrordriver, the file can deleted normaly and weren´t recreated.

Only, that I can sleep without "fear": Is that file a file from the mirror driver?

Thanks for helping.

Correct,

The driver use this file for shared memory between kernel and user space.
The file is actual mapped in memory, but need to exist.

Oh thank you Rudi. I thougt, I had an virus or so. No I can sleep.

Second question to the driver:
On my other PC I have my video hook driver2, too. But there is no file like video0.dat. All PC´s have XP Prof. but different grafic cards.

Is that the reason? And on this PC I haven´t installed the Server as a service. I start the server manually, if needed.

But the file don´t appear, if I start the server.

Thanks for answering again. And thank you for the very good programm.
