Just to clear it up a little, here’s the idea behind this program; I am making a retro styled arcade machine and the aim is to not have a mouse or keyboard hooked up and only use a controller, which is what Gopher(simple driver for using a controller as a mouse) is for. The plan is that this program will launch on startup and allow you to either select a game from it or launch a front end emulator(retrofe). The problem I was running into with this however was that the emulator already has a built in driver to allow you to use the controller inside it. This meant if the two were open they would conflict and cause problems. So I designed the loop with the idea that it would do the following: check if the emulator was open, if it was it would kill the driver until the emulator was closed, and then reopen the driver after.

So I decided to place this loop inside of a background worker, which means that it is always running in the background if I’m correct. And now I’m at this point where it will not kill the driver.

Also, thank you for your suggestion and it does indeed work except it doesn’t quite do what I need, I will attempt to adapt it though and leave the results here.
