I know that the hsmgr.exe (in SysWOW64) and hsmgr64.exe (in SysWOW) processes are related to my Xonar Essense STX sound card that I recently installed, but I don't know what they do or which one I should choose. My pc keeps asking me if I want to run either or both of them on start up, so I've just been running both of them since I don't know any better hah. I am currently running on a 64 bit machine, but I also know 64 bit machines can run 32 bit processes and programs. I tried finding help at certain other site where I felt this was more relevant, but I've had the worst luck over there. I have not had a single answer to 3 or so threads I made. I thought I'd try my luck here and hope people would know what I'm talking about. Any help is appreciated.
