After searching a lot to find a solution for this sXe Injected intercepting error and posting my problems on a few forums, I realized that this was a futile exercise!!!Here is a preview of the problem I was facing and finally a solution which at least works great for me!
I was running Windows 7 and recently installed a fresh copy of Counter Strike 1.6. The sXe Injected is an anti-cheat software (popular among CS enthusiasts) which is required to be installed and executed before LAUNCHING and playing CS online. I installed this anti-cheat software, executed it and finally started playing CS on a local server…but alas!! I was kicked out and the pop up message asked me to download sXe Injected. I quit the game and relaunched sXe injected but this gave me the INTERCEPTING ERROR.
THE SOLUTION:
I finally found out that the reason of interception error is Half-Life Launcher process.
So the solution is to kill the process “Half-Life Launcher” and relaunch sXe Injected. Then run CS 1.6 and enjoy.

Another problem that I encountered was that after launching sXe Injected, the game launched after 3 or 4 clicks. For this, I will suggest u ppl to follow these steps:
- Open Task Manager (Processes Tab)
- Launch sXe Injected
- Try launching CS until “Half-Life Launcher” process appears in the process list…….STOP LAUNCHING NOW!!!
- Kill the “Half-Life Launcher” process and relaunch CS
This solution has worked for me and should work for everyone.
Yeah it worked for me too.
Plzzz add a vedio tutorial for this we are trying this prosses !! it doesnt worksss
Did you kill that process?? Can you briefly explain the problem you are encountering so that I may help in that particular way..
hey man as we run cs 1.6..its displaying hl.exe in the process which is the game process running…
if we close that then obviously games also closes down…there are no other process of the game cs 1.6 except hl.exe which is the games process..how i can resolve this problem…??
Please look through the process list again…..you should find a process by the name of hl.exe…kill that process and relaunch the game…..it should solve your problem.
This is wat u shud do….run sxe >>> run cs 1.6 >>>the game doesn't responds >>> open task manager and kill the process hl.exe>>>>> relaunch the game >>> it shud.
Atleast this has worked for me.
This is not related to the post … Anyways scan you computer with an antivirus like AVG and reinstall sxe ….. if the problem persists, reinstall windows.
Yaar yeh srif tumharay computer pe kaam karta hai. hum mein se kisi ko help nhi mil rahi
im also looking for the solution of [ Intercepting Error, Sxe will now close] .
When we launch CS right after sxe, an intercepting error imediately occurs so sxe.exe and hl.exe processes have been automatically deleted from the process tab. That mean hl.exe process don't show in process tab until we start CS only without sxe.
exactly the same problem what u are having! but i'm getting a notepad which sxe created, here the content of the note pad, i/m using XP with no anti virus

PLz send me ehw video link, icant get u, it doesnt apperar,i retry again nd again ,
Have not made a video yet….Can you please let me know where you are facing problems in completing the above mentioned procedures??
i did as suggested above but still not works…
The path as a data type srting in the registry is without double-quotes [ c:\xampp ]. The programming code reading this path see the backslash [ \ ]as an escape character and actually read only c: and does not know what the next charachter x means and what to do with it; thus the path is invalid. In Ant’s example above the double-backslash [ \\ ] means, use the next character after the first bachslash as a backslash and therefor the srting[/c] now makes sense in computer programming language. The alternative is to put double-quotes around the path srting, “c:\xampp” which I did and it works as well – this is the prefered method and I think it was an oversight in the developemnt of this version of xampp.
can u plzZ tell me rafey …..how to kill the process???
And tell me rafey ….is it possible on WINDOWS XP(service pack 2)
I tried the end process thing, but for the half life launcher to appear in the task manager I have to open the game 3-4 times, but after i’ve done this and have quickly ended the half life launcher the game still doesn’t open up, if I click on the game once or twice the half life launcher doesn’t appear in the task manager. It’s not working I don’t know why, please help me out, I want to play on the servers. [ Intercepting Error, Sxe will now close] comes after I try to open the game.
Waiting for your reply.
