smax4pnp?

Heyo, I know this isn't related to gaming but it is to Microsoft and you don't have a tech support forum so I thought I'd put it here, anyway, here goes;
My laptop runs slower than usual sometimes and completely crashes, I ended all applications and try to restart, I get the message, "ending smax4pnp", sure enough I end it but I check my processes now and there it is, ending the process causes no harm but does anyone know how to get rid of this, I think it's affecting my laptop and making it un-stable? I hear it's a pre-installed driver or something and I tried to fix it but yeah... Anyone know how to help me? If it's any help I got a pre-owned Toshiba Tecra

I would try to help if I knew what the heck you were talking about. Wait, my dad works for a computer service thing, so I'll try to get him to post later. He's awesome at this kind of stuff.v

Haha, sorry, I'm not sure how much sense that made... Hope someone understands! And thanks for that

smax4pnp.exe is a process installed alongside the Analogue Devices range of audio products. "This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.\r

You should try it.

Cool, thanks Allen, I did check around and nothing really seemed to help so much, but thanks anyway
