What exactly is MACEwnd?

[novacc]

So I've tried doing a google search and a forum search of this, not much luck. The only thing I found through my search on google was a post in another forum, the speculation was between it being a virus or something relating to the graphics card.
It appears on my screen when I alt+tab between Internet browser windows (i.e., it shows it as something that I can switch too, but remains hidden).
My graphics card is a 512MB ATI VisionTek Radeon X1300 XGE.
It doesn't seem to be affecting my computer much, if at all... I'm just curious to know what it is, is there some how I can check through DOS? And like I mentioned, the all-mighty-and-powerful google left me empty-handed.
Thanks.

I Googled MACEwnd whiched pulled up a forum talking about how it might be related to MACE.exe provided MACE.exe was running in the tast manager, so I Googled MACE.exe and it pulled up quite a few sites referring to this process as being related to ATI graphics hardware.

Ah, I see, guess I should've dug deeper
