Guest expat Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I'm getting an intermittant error on startup - Device Monitor has encountered a problem and needs to close. So many apps have automatically upgraded lately, I don't know where to start tying things down. (Dell, BT, Adobe... more) App Name: ICXTMON.EXE Can anyone tell me where to start? Many thanks! -- expat

Perhaps you misspelled the filename; there's no mention of such a file in a Google Groups search. http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=ICXTMON.EXE+&qt_s=Search+Groups It's also possible it's a program supplied by the manufacturer of your computer or a component, but it's just as likely that you have malware on your system. -- Joe =o)
Guest expat Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: Device Monitor closes on startup Oops - transposed... IXCTMON.EXE is the corrected app. Thanks for checking! -- expat "Elmo" wrote: > expat wrote: > > I'm getting an intermittent error on startup - Device Monitor has encountered > > a problem and needs to close.

Same result though; it doesn't exist in a Google Groups, nor in a Google Web search. Google did suggest this one though: http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=IXCPTMON& -- Joe =o)
Guest expat Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Device Monitor closes on startup Hmmm, looks like it's an Exception Monitor (whatever that is) that's having problems. I'm not a whiz, I'm afraid, so I don't get much out of the jargon that's offered in the Google groups writeups. Is this a system monitor that's acting up, or? -- expat "Elmo" wrote: > expat wrote: > > Oops - transposed...

Guest expat Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Device Monitor closes on startup oooo boy, re the Exception Monitor thought, I followed the link you gave me, but now see it has a P in the name. which will be the death of me - 7 little letters! Here's the error message I get, honest that's the name. DEVICE MONITOR Error signature AppName: Ixctmon.exe AppVer: 0.1.25.0 ModName: Ixctmon.exe ModVer: 0.1.25.0 Offset: 0000246e -- expat "Elmo" wrote: > expat wrote: > > Yes - IXCTMON.exe > > That one was never found in a Google Groups search.

See if it appears to be a file installed by the OEM of your computer. Click Start, Run, type SFC /SCANNOW, click OK. If any files are damaged or missing, they'll be replaced. You may need to reboot afterwards so damaged files will be replaced. -- Joe =o)
Guest expat Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Re: Device Monitor closes on startup You helped - thanks. In a roundabout way I found the problem. It was actually a lower case L in the name, not an I, and that led me to Lexmark, which is where the problem sits. Feeling foolish, I'm going to back off while I can. Many thanks for taking time to patiently walk me through the paces... -- expat "Elmo" wrote: > expat wrote: > > oooo boy, re the Exception Monitor thought, I followed the link you gave me, > > but now see it has a P in the name. which will be the death of me - 7 little > > letters!
