Winkqgl.exe?

Not sure this is a registry problem, though use of the
registry to handle it might be a solution.

Is anyone familiar with a Win2k executable called
winkqgl.exe. It is hammering the CPU @ 100% loading and I
cannot figure out how to kill it. I've tried the Task
Manager, was well as several other process killers, but
nothing works. I'm not sure what it does, but once the OS
killed it when it generated errors and no services
appeared to be lost after it was killed. So whatever it
does is not all that conspicuous.

The strange thing is that it appears to be located in
WINNT\System32 according to the management console (for
running tasks), and the parent process is services.exe.
However, if you look in WINNT\System32 you cannot find
Winkqgl.exe.

So the bottom line is that you can't kill it, you can't
change it's priority, and you can't even locate it per the
identified path.

Does anyone know what Winkqgl.exe is, and if there is a
way to kill it?

Help would be appreciated.
