nvcpl.dll will not load
The other day my WinXP machine froze. When I tried re-booting I got
the error that nvcpl.dll won't load. I tried installing the newest set of Geforce 4 drivers, but nvcpl.dll still will not load. I'm worried my card is the problem, because I can't boot into Win2k from this machine now either. (dual boot config) Any ideas?? Thanks, Dave |

sounds like some possible disk corruption... have you run chkdsk on the
Win2K partition? if you dual boot and the other OS is okay, then I can't see how the card could be the root of the problem. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 115,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "Not Bob Dylan" wrote in message ...

Why can't you boot into W2k - do you get the same error message....?
Or is it that NTLDR is missing or corrupt or whatever....? Can you not get a working copy of nvcpl.dll and using a Dos boot disk navigate to the system32 directory and put it in there over writing the other one...? Might or might not work - can't understand though why both OS's are not bootable - either as normal or in Safe mode. There are plenty of returns when you Google.... repair dual boot XP Might be an idea to look there. -- Regards Morgan |

Hi
Thanks for the replies. I should have explained better. I'm NOT able to boot into either OS in normal mode. I CAN get into each via safe mode. I tried re-installing the Nvidia drivers. I used the newest version available. Still no go. I ran msconfig from within XP, and disabled both "nvcpl" and "nvmctray" from booting. With both disabled I am able to get into XP. I will try overwriting the nvcpl.dll file suggested and see if that helps. I was watching a CNN video on RealPlayer when the computer originally froze.

Thanks, Dave You might try uninstalling your Dets and use NFR from www.guru3d.com BEFORE you reboot to get rid of the possible corrupt driver files. Then reinstall them and see if that helps. You will have to do that in both OSs. nvmctray is the Nvidia tray icon and I think that nvcpl is the loader for the driver video settings if I remember correctly. Ed |
