Given its purpose CTHELPER would normally be classified as a ""leave alone"" background task. It also allows Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker setting.

The theory is that 3rd party manufacturers can use the CTHELPER plug-in interface to produce drivers, add-on features, and fixes that will integrate with a tighter fit with Creative?s sound drivers and utilities. Given its purpose CTHELPER would normally be classified as a ""leave alone"" background task. It also allows Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not functional (settings are not in sync). Unfortunately there are often problems with CTHELPER, most notably that it can use 100% of CPU time so it's best left disabled unless you need it"

The problem is that, in some PCs, ZCFGSVC can be incredibly badly behaved : taking up to 100% of CPU time and therefore resulting in an extremely slow PC, preventing the installation of software or Windows updates, or causing ?Not Responding? or ?End this Program? shutdown problems. If you experience this, try first the very latest drivers from Intel or your laptop manufacturer. If that still does not solve the problem and you have Windows XP/2003, try setting the ?Wireless Zero Configuration? service to Disabled."
