Pinpointed Video lag, just cant get rid of it please help!!

[jgullo29]

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?

[jgullo29]

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???

[SpywareDr]

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!!

[SuperSparks]

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.

[jgullo29]

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......

[jgullo29]

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?
