Problem with registry, then nvcpl.dll

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hey all, I've been having a really strange problem with my computer,
basically I got the "blue screen of death" at start up...I finally managed to
start windows back up by chosing "last good configuration". When windows
started I was told that there was a run dll problem and an error opening
nvcpl.dll, which I understand is to do with my graphics card driver. So I
tried to reinstal the driver, at which time I got one of those DOS problems
involving "autorun.ex" or something like that, so I fixed the registry, and
re-installed the driver...However, every time I update the driver the
graphics return to normal, but as soon as I put stress on them, for example
with a game or with a video, I am told "unable to init shader system", the
graphics then flick back to being really jerky, and in System Tools>Hardware
Devices I am told that the graphics card has no driver. I have reinstalled
windows to try and resolve the problem, but no luck.

Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks, Alex

Updated the driver? NOT from winupdate I hope.
Were your graphics OK on origonal driver? if so why update

If drivers are disappearing and you are having registry problems, I would
check for viruses and spywares that may be on your system first. Drivers do
not disappear by themselves and registries do not normally corrupt
themselves.
