well ihave pinpointed the constant steady video lag that i have been experiencing. I went through ms config and found the program tile. its "nvpcl.dll,Nvstarup" when i actually went in and deleted these and rebooted and everything it just recreated itself and made the same file, so i need to know how to permanently remove this file. Can someone please help me??

nvstartup is a process which belongs to Nvidia based graphics cards and adds additional functionality for this range of graphics products. This program is non-essential process to the running of the system, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

Name: NvCpl
Command: NvStartup
Status: U (User's choice - depends whether a user deems it necessary)
Description: Intializes the clock and memory settings on nVidia based graphics cards. Enable if you overclock your card
Don't try deleting any files, just uncheck the entry for it in the Msconfig>Startup tab.
And while you are in msconfig/ startup see what else you can disable.

Has a listing of what those criptic words in there mean.
the only problem is that i have already gone through msconfig and disabled it but everytime i restart that is the only thing that is checked, it really just checks itself back on. So i cant really disable it! Anymore ideas?
as a matter of fact, i'm assuming that this nvcpl thing came with the latest driver for nvidia, now that i think of it, this all started when i updated the drivers inorder to play Day of Defeat: Source, still any more ideas for disabling it???
Maybe rename the "nvpcl.dll" file to "nvpcl.dll.renamed", and reboot?
Right-click Start, select Open and check your Startup Files. If the program's in there, delete the shortcut.
This file is not that evil, really, I swear. I hate needless threads as much as the next guy, but this one is the control panel extention (it's the extra tab in the display properties window). Multi mon support, color adjustments, display timing adjustments, overclocking, fast desktop switching, rotation, all the cool stuff and much better than the freeware apps that try to do the same thing.
I think you might be able to disable its autolaunch by choosing a setting within that little nVidia icon in your system tray. If not, you'd probably have to use default VGA controller drivers.
ok well i will try that later today since i'm at work now, and will post the results, thank you guys so much so far for the help! but bear with me! dont go anywhere!!
I'm a bit mystified, frankly, I unchecked that in my Msconfig quite some time ago and it's stayed unchecked ever since. I can't think what could be resetting it. In case you haven't already done so, uncheck "NvMcTray" as well.
It's a 5200, that says it all right there. ;)
hahahahahahah yeah yeah its a 5200 but is there anything i can do about it? cause i cant get rid of this lag, also to super sparks, yeah i actually unchecked everything in ms config that starts up and that is the only one that resetted itself, and i have no idea why, i will try again tonight..... this all started ever since i update my nvidia drivers......
how do i get my nvidia options to come up so i can adjust them? they dont come up when my computer boots and i went to the nvidia folder and cant find a shortcut, any idea? what about installing an older driver?
Right click on the desktop.
Select Settings Tab
Select Adavnced
Select Nvidia tab
Tweak away
Was just pulling your leg, my friend!--But that thing sure seems to have a mind of its own. I hope you get it tamed soon...Quote:

I don't have the nVidia drivers on this machine, but I'll look when I get home. I think you should be able to find an option on the menu if you right click on the system tray icon. 'disable' or something.
ok guys, i even rolled back my video driver and its still doing it, what am i going to do? maybe thats not the problem after all.... i'm so desperate right now
Let's better define what your problem is. Do you experience choppy video playback when watching a DVD movie? Poor frame rates during 3d video games? Choppy video in 2d/desktop situations?
yes to all, and for the last one , on the 2d on desktop, i can move my mouse across the screen and it will "lag" or stop consistently about two seconds apart everytime and continuously. This also goes for video play back, as well and video games. Any suggestions?
Can you post a Hijack This log? If even the mouse pointer is lagging, I would suspect it's not video related. It could be something using all your clock cycles.
It sounds like something is hogging the CPU cycles. Right-click the Taskbar and choose Task Manager, then in the Processes tab make sure that CPU & CPU Time columns are selected (View>Select Columns). Click twice on the CPU column header and that will put the process that is using the most CPU cycles at the top. Ignore System Idle Process, a high value for that is a good thing.
i have checked the task bar and done exactly as you have said but there is nothing prominent that is hogging up the cpu at all, nothing. what is a hijack this log?
oh nvm, i know what the hijack log is, let me run all that stuff and post it there, in the meantime any more suggestions? so you dont think its video related at all?
screw this, i guess i'm going to just reformatt
