    Just because your comp crashed doesn't mean it was THAT file......
    But I have no idea what it is. (file or reason for crash)

    Loadwc.exe is part of Interent Explorer. It loads the Web Check program. See http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q176960 for more details

    All I know about loadwc.exe is that sometimes is messes up and doesn't read the internet connection as actually there (with certain types of software ie, Efficent Networks Enternet 300 version 1.3), I know normally you can rename/delete the file without an adverse effects, but that isn't something I would recommend doing unless you know 100% for sure IE is the only thing trying to use it.....
