The ctpoint.exe process is an executable component file of the firmware resources and driver software utilities that are distributed with certain mouse devices from Creative Technology. These HIDs (Human Interface Devices) that are developed by this company require firmware components and driver resources to correctly communicate with the Windows-based system and other associated devices like the USB I/O ports (for USB mouse devices), wireless adapters and chipsets equipped into the motherboard of the computer, and the ctpoint.exe file is one of the EXE component processes of these drivers and firmware utilities that must be installed in the system with these associated Creative mouse devices. The ctpoint.exe process is specifically deployed into the Windows-based computer as the executable program dispatcher file of the Creative Mouse Monitor application, which is a small built-in program that assists these Creative mouse firmware components and drivers in integrating its device detection and status monitoring functionalities into the Windows-based system. This also means the ctpoint.exe process is an integral component file of these Creative mouse drivers and firmware utilities and is placed in the system upon the installation of these device resources.
