SWBoengine

Dec 12, 2004 3 Replies

Has anybody seen this process hang onto a thumbdrive? I had a thumbdrive plugged into my laptop and wanted to remove it. AFAIK only SW had accessed files on the drive. I closed all the files in SW and any Explorer windows and couldn't dismount the drive. Then I shut down SW2005 and still couldn't shut down the drive. Finally I went into task manager and checked for errant SW processes. There weren't any, but there was the SWBOengine. I shut that down and the thumbdrive could be shut down.



So what is SWBOengine doing? And why does it maintain some kind of handle on my files?



Here's a link to an explanation

That answers what it is, but not my question. It appears to have prevented the removal of the thumbdrive, probably because of file access and yet I didn't use the Task Scheduler.

I have had similar problems with SWBOengine.... basicallt for whatever rason this file crashes whenever I want to shut my PC down (I've got no removable drives like you though) and so I've actually removed it from startup and I just manually trigger it whenever I need to perform task scheduler stuff..... although at the moment my task scheduler doesn't seem to work at ALL since I've installed 2ks so that's REALLY useful!
