About the Conflict Detector agent

Conflicts between Software and hardware can cause your system to operate erratically, or even cause programs, applications, and hardware not to work at all. The Conflict Detector agent can automatically check and correct software and hardware problems. The Conflict Detector agent performs a complete inventory of installed software and hardware and then searches RealHelp's Knowledge Database for potential conflicts.
