I'm running XP Home, and over the last few days I've noticed SKSMAILD taking over my computer. Right now it's running over 95% of my CPU and has more than 5 trillion I/O read bytes.

I just lowered it's priority and can now use my computer again. I know I need more memory (I have 256MB and am looking to purchase 512MB more).

What is SKSMAILD.exe and why am I just noticing it?

I believe its the IBM Media Access Pro Keyboard. You should have both skdaemon.exe & sksmaild.exe running as processes.

Here is the driver for this keyboard:

Windowsupdate.com might also help fix the problem.

Hope this helps.

Do you use the IBM Media Access Pro Keyboard?

The sk2000dm.exe (the Detect Keyboard Daemon) runs at startup and skdaemon.exe & sksmaild.exe run as processes thereafter with this keyboard.

Yes, I do have an IBM Rapid Access Keyboard, and the light on it has been blinking for two days. Hmmm. Wonder what that means.

Get updated drivers for keyboard. I would uninstall keyboard software and re-install with updated drivers and that should fix it.
