I've been experiencing problems only while playing Halo that have been going on for a few months now. Have gotten no help anywhere, I assume, 'cause I have a unique problem.
In any case, when I check the crashreporter after Halo yet again locks up and I have to restart I notice the only thing crashing is something called ucontrold.
What is it? Why is it crashing? How do I remove it?
Here's the newest one from a few minutes ago:
Also, baring in mind I deleted it from StartupItems yesterday yet it magically was back today it seems. Help please.
EDIT: On another note, and this is a first, but after that last crash I got the ominous "Importing iTunes Music Library.xml" message upon opening iTunes. Never had that before. =\ It's adding crap, creating thumbnails, gapless playback...all the things its known forever its now doing all over again. Sigh. I don't expect this crap from a Mac.
