SP2 hkcmd.exe error

[Saga]

I coworker of mine installed SP2 and when the PC booted it gave him an
hkcmd.exe error. The message was of the type that offers to send info to
MS and the user clicks a button approving or closing the dialog.

Any ideas what this can be?

Thanks!

Disable it if you don"t use it...

Installed by the Intel 810 and 815 chipset graphic drivers. If you want the
Ctrl+Alt+F12 or similar keypresses to access Intel's customised graphics
properties, you need it, otherwise not. Can be disabled via the Display
Properties in Control Panel

Thanks. I will get this info to him and post back as soon as I have
results (if I get any back).

Best regards,

That sounds like good advice


The "problem" was with the hot key driver for the Intel hardware.
The user has not complained about it again, so I guess that it was
either a one time thing or it was resolved.

Luckily.. no worm this time!

Thanks again.
