While looking at the Event Viewer on my XP Pro SP2 system, I found this
Failure Audit message under Security over and over again, I assume during
reboot. What is MCSTRM and what should I do about it? The error message was
a little annoying because it did not specify the file it cannot find. Thanks.

Source: Service Control Manager
The MCSTRM service failed to start due to the following error: The system
cannot find the file specified.

I tried to uninstall it and the popup had the text "Click Uninstall
Everything to remove the system extensions as well (not recommended)." Why
is this not recommended? Is there any way to know in advance if some
application will barf if QuickTime is uninstalled?

> I hate the extension .swf.

Why and where is it used?
