Device Monitor closes on startup


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

Oops - transposed... IXCTMON.EXE is the corrected app. Thanks for checking!

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&

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?

What's the filename? Is it the one I suggested?

That one was never found in a Google Groups search. Where did you read

that it's an exception monitor?

Locate the file and look at its Properties. 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.

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...
