Does anyone know exactly what this service does?
System in question: Dual P3-800 with MSI Ti4200 8x running Windows Server
2003 and nVidia drivers for XP version 53.03.
I've done some searching on google web and groups, and it looks like this
used to be called "NVIDIA Driver Helper Service".
But I have yet to come across any posts that really explain what it does,
aside from some of the issues it's caused.
The reason I stumbled across it is because I noticed NVCPL.DLL kept
showing up in the registry under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\NvCplDaemon.
Even though I'd keep removing it, it kept showing up.
I did some searching for nvcpl.dll and read that apparently the NVIDIA
Display Driver Service is responsible for putting this in the registry
key, even after it's been removed.
The suggestion most frequently given is to disable the service or set it
to manual. But it would be nice to know what exactly this service is
supposed to be doing, and why it insists on running nvcpl.dll.
I've searched though the NVIDIA documentation PDFs but have found no
mention of this service. I tried to search msicomputer.com but their
site is down at the moment. I'm not finding much useful on google web or
group searches.
Thanks in advance for any info on this service.
