 Vic Van Vroom | Intel Integrated Display Adapter component -- System Tray Applet facilitating display adjustments |
| | Shows a tray icon of your intel graphics driver |
| | Intel Graphics Driver |
| | Has to do with an Intel Display Adapter, harmless |
 | Morons just remove it, it is unecessary. |
| Obsidian Eternus | Intel Graphics Tray process. Most Intel motherboards with integrated video made after 1999 have this program as part of its "driver installation" package. This is what enables simple resolution changes (right click Desktop Graphics Modes 1280x1024 @ 32bpp - 70 hz etc) The genuine version of this file is completely harmless, but it's not necessary for video card function with an Intel motherboard, as I stated earlier. |
 shivaram.K | When i Installed the windows XP professional, that system will getting automatic restart. |

| Kisara | Intel Graphics Tray. It's perfectly fine. |
| Mystique | its more annoying than dangerous, on EVERY start-up it causes a window saying could not open igfxtray when i never tried to open it in the 1st place |
 Matt | On windows startup this exe file tries regularly to connect to crl.microsoft.com on port 80. Not sure what it's sending |
| | It is a harmless process..displays an icon in the Icon Tray for the graphics device |
| WELL SPOKEN IT PERSON | Not dangerous. Just another process to take up more resources. igfxtray.exe is a process which allows you to access the Intel Graphics configuration and diagnostic application for the Intel 810 series graphics chipset. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for ease of use via the desktop tray. See also: Link |
| zafar | Not harmless it is removable without any problems |
| Tyler Menezes | Used for Intel display. Not dangerous. No need to remove it. |
| daKing | Spygate Firewall notified me of 'Attempted Hijacking' by ifxftray.exe in WINNT System32. Upon checking logs I noticed it continually trying to connect to an IP I then traced to The Netherlands (I'm in US). I blocked this IP range on my firewall and the following the day it began reporting to a different IP. Blocked that one and now it is trying to connect even to a different one. Tried to delete it - coulnd't. Started in Safe Mode, deleted the file, then used regedt32 to delete all associated registries for this file. |
| Debbie | I just got a new computer with Windows Vista and periodically my screen goes black and then in the bottom of my start up task bar it says that it has recovered from a critical error. I don't know what igfx is but it's annoying! |
| trecool999 | Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver |
| Shmoe IV | It always crashes when i shut down and interferes with quite a few things, annoying but harmless |
| jack | I think any process will slowdown the boot up of Windows. If it is an uselss (or rarely be used) program, then disable it at regiter would be a smart way. |
| T-LAMMMMMM | not dangerous on my system. |
| Tinel | it is ok. igfxtray.exe is a process which allows you to access the Intel Graphics configuration and diagnostic application for the Intel 810 series graphics chipset. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for ease of use via the desktop tray. |
| I.T. Professional | It's harmless - you people should research or educate yourselves before saying it's "harmful" or "bad" cause there ARE people out there who's only source of info about these things is threads like this - and they rely on us for accurate information - not speculation |
| | Users with video outputs, S-video etc. should not disable this |
 Gabrosh | I am not sure, I had Intel Extr.Graf. card in my previous laptop, but now I have ATI mobility and still this process. Any advice? |
| JRog | it's not dangerous but absolutely unnecessary |
| slavic | It is about controlling the graphic displayer |
| Donna Stone | It runs a tray icon. It is used for quick access to video features. |
| Kevin | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, its totally harmless. |
| ddas-eden | It shows in the Startup tab on my WinXP System Configuration Utility (MSCONFIG). But I don't see any tray-icon as some have metioned here. I am using the on-board Intel 82865G Graphics Controller - Driver Version 6.14.10.3691. |
