windows needed to close some programme almost immediately after logon and sited this file as a problem. I then began to listen to some streaming audio and then PC crashed with blue screen. Subsequent bootup seemed OK.

Produzierte bei mir wiederholt Fehlermeldung; habe die datei in msconfig schließlich deaktiviert, so daß sie nun nicht mehr beim Systemstart mitgestartet wird. Brachte mir keinerlei Fehlfunktion der Soundkarte ein, alles läuft problemlos, und den Fehler gibt es nicht mehr (alles bei WinXP, neuer PC von August 2006; ich benutze die Soundkarte allerdings ausschließlich für Notensatz und Abspielen von Klangdateien etc.)

Leave it alone unless you want more memory to run a Game. CTRL-ALT-DEL and then End Process by right clicking on the file in your task manager.

CTXFIHLP.EXE is neither a spyware or adware. Added by the installation of a Creative Labs X-Fi sound card. This particular process provides the help functionality for your card. Note: located in C:\%WINDIR%\System32 (XP/WinNT/2K)
