what is this: kb888111.exe?
this file is on my desktop.
It is an application file.
Windows is asking me if I want to open it.
I had sound problems and installed my Intel driver disc.
1. This file might be a result of that installation????
2. Would it have anything to do with this message I always get upon bootup?
Intel Audio Studio Controller > Intel HD audio drivers must be loaded before this application will work.
3. should this file, kb888111.exe, be opened, deleted, stored somewhere, etc?

this is Microsoft High Definition Audio Driver Package - KB888111 Package
In my add/remove prpgram list, I have:
Microsoft High Definition Audio Driver Package - KB888111
so what should I do with the KB888111.exe file?
open?
run?
delete?
where did it come from.....my Intel driver disc?
if so, I wonder why, since installing the disc got me the Microsoft High Definition Audio Driver Package - KB888111

If you trust the origin of this file kb888111.exe, go ahead and run it. If you don't, or if your audio is working perfectly right now, I'd say there is no need for the exe and go ahead and delete it.
If you are going to run it, it doesn't hurt to scan it with antivirus.

the 888111 seems to be used in that article for problems with Vista and trying to go back to XP.
