My system (XP Home) recently began to hang on startup while loading the system tray... 
only the clock and the volume icon load and then the system locks up and I have to 
completely turn off the computer to restart (cntrl+alt+del doesn't work).  After 
I turn the computer back on, scandisk runs and XP loads fine immediately following 
the system scan... the next time I try to logon, it locks up again!  On one occasion 
I saw an icon in the tray which read, "igfxtray.exe is corrupt"... what is this executable 
representing, is it the file for the system tray??

Does anyone know, or have a clue as to what the problem may be??  I don't want have 
to completely reload everything, is there a somewhat simple solution to this??

Any help is appreciated!!  Thanks!
