Multiple Instances of CLI.exe

Task Manager and Multiple Instances of Programs

Is this normal?

Oh, I should explain a bit first...
This attached image is a screenshot of my computer, and the Task Manager on the Processes Tab.

I've noticed several of the same application/etc running in this list. (Just to let you know, there were three of the CLI.exe prior to the screenshot... (I thought it wasn't right, so I closed the two that were smaller... bad idea?)

Anyway, just asking if this is normal or not... and whether I need to uninstall something that may be related to something in the list.

lol @ Ed

Anyway, CLI is part of the ATI drivers. That tells me you're using an older set, as I believe it's been renamed to CCC.exe. No big deal, new drivers likely won't help a 9800 anyway.

With svchost, it is normal to have multiple instances.

As a side note, I think you could probably trim some start-up items using msconfig, and services.msc.

It does'nt look normal to me.....should'nt there be like 4 or 5 instances of CLI.running at once.

It wasn't just multiple instances of CLI.exe, there were more things... I was asking about the status of my Task Manager's List of Processes.

And sorry, I... guess I gotta work on naming threads...

I've been using the 7.2 drivers I think... could install like the 7.8 if I wanted to, but... yeah.

And I've also been using windows defender's software explorer to clear up a couple of the startup programs.

Didn't think so...
Wasn't confuzzled anyway...

Didn't even think that 3 of CLI.exe was normal...

its normal for there to be several. but you should update your drivers, the latest ones have CCC.exe and MOM.exe, but the drivers are a bit leaner/faster starting than they used to be.

newconroer · Oct 22, 2007

Fourty-three processes..yikes, and I thought twenty-two in Vista was bad...

Would the 7.8 drivers do fine on a Radeon 9800Pro?

Don't really know, but I can tell you how to save some resources. Load whatever ATI drivers you want, but install the driver only, then use a little program called ATI Tray Tools. It takes the place of the Catalyst Control Center. It runs in the task bar, and can change the same options as the CCC.

Great little program. I just wish Ray would update it to work with the 2900.

It is nice... I'll stick with this... Pity everything doesn't work with everything...

Although... I have noticed there are two of ati2evxx.exe running...

That's normal. If you try to kill one, the other will die as well. It controls the switch into 3d mode for cards that have it. You can likely just get rid of it. Go to services.msc, and disable the ATI Hotkey Poller service.

Meh, unless it's really altering performance, I think I'll keep it/them.
