ifgxtray.exe and hkcmd.exe error message

[nctechno]

Running XP-Pro on a system and keep getting this two errors at boot up. "ifgxtray.exe and hkcmd.exe failed to load."

When to a website with instructions to create a notepad file to make the corrections but didnot work on XP. Any ideas how to correct this without reloading the OS? Thanks.

I have had this issue and reloading Intel video drivers has fixed it in most cases.

What type of Video Card are you using? Do you have on-board Intel Video Display?

Maybe those two processes have been, or could be, disabled via MsConfig?

Actually the system comes with an On-board VGA controller, the Intel one. But have installed an ATI PCI graphics card which is what is being used. On devise manager, an error came up saying a drivers was not installed. So when I used the mainboard's driver's CD and installed those drivers is when those errors started showing up at boot up. The PCI graphics card installed and works just fine. No biggie. I re installed the OS and every thing but the Intel drivers and the system is working just fine, minus the error messages but still with a "need drivers" on the On-Board controller.

Look in the BIOS, and see if you can turn off the onboard video...

if you can then that nagging "Need Drivers" message will disappear...

Thanks, I did that but didn't work. It still asked for the drivers. I found a "fix" on line, when ahead and performed the fix but didn't work. Come to find out the fix was for Win98, 2000 and Millenium but not for XP home or pro. crappola!

Can you Disable the Intel Graphics via Device Manager?

ifgxtray.exe and hkcmd.exe failed to load." - also comes from the AUTOSTART ramps...

take a look at CCleaner, there under tools you will find the Autostart entries...

PS: please can you tell us what mainboard you have...
