SDMCP hangs startup on reboot

I've found that the SDMCP app is hanging my startups. This wasn't always the case. Since this autostarts I'm not sure what/why it needs to be so, I generaly cancel the the task to complete the restart.


I'm going to delete the prefetch, perhaps that will clear it up but  it appears to reoccur. Any ideas? I'm running WB / Fx / and had used desktopX but not currently.


Running XP sp2+ IBM T40 Laptop


WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:


STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+


WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.


WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC


You have Stardock WindowFX running.  Please be aware that WindowBlinds 5 is not compatible with WindowFX 2.11 or 2.19.  WindowFX 2.5 beta which is compatible with WindowBlinds 5 will be released later this year


(I'm using fx 3.0)


Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.


This is because :


Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha.  WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor.  Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware.  Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature.  Onboard graphics tend not to.


You have one monitor in total.


(Default Monitor) 1 is attached to ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500
