Strange Musicmatch Jukebox 10 Issue?

I was just curious if any other MMJB10 users have noticed this... Immediately after installing MMJB 10, I notice a single white pixel in the top lefthand corner of the desktop (I have a dark wallpaper). It only appears after Windows XP fully loads and is not a monitor issue (it is covered by any window placed over it). It's just a very minor thing but I was curious if anyone else sees it. It could be just me, I guess...

I use Musicmatch Jukebox 10 and I never saw that before.
For fun, I'm going to uninstall MMJB and see if it disappears.

[EDIT] It's gone! A few seconds after I started the uninstall, I watched the white dot disappear before my eyes!
Crazy stuff, huh?
Now I'll reinstall it as I'd miss my OnDemand!

Yes, in the uppermost lefthand corner... a tiny white dot. I can watch it appear right when XP is fully loaded (all systray icons loaded).

 I have found the cause.... Musicmatch 10 installs a process called mim.exe. Go into Task Manager and end the process mim.exe. The little white dot will disappear before your eyes.... If anyone can offer additional info as to what mim.exe is, I'd appreciate it...

1 edit		 Yep I never even looked for it til now. But it should not be there. I would think Muscimatch could fix this pretty easy.

It seems it's loaded at startup by "mimboot.exe". You can go into msconfig and uncheck it so it doesn't load but it's loaded and stays resident every time you run MMJB 10.

Little Falls, NJ		 Oh my! I just unchecked it so it wouldn't start up. You'll need to reinstall MMJB, probably.

With mim.exe running.

With mim.exe stopped.		  
I just found another interesting (and slightly disturbing) thing that mim.exe does and that is that it won't allow you to format a drive while in XP. I have a third hdd (E) that I use exclusively for backup images and I normally format it in Windows when I decide to start fresh with a new full image. It seems that with mim.exe running, it "locks" additional physical drives and won't allow you to format them in Windows. If I try to format, I get the above image (top). If I end the mim.exe process, I can get right in and do the format (bottom pic). I did contact MM asking just what this process is and hopefully they'll get back to me.

They want me to e mail them a photo of the white dot. The problem is screen capture wont pick it up. I guess its too small.
