I recently installed a new GeForce MX200 32MB PCI card. Widows XP cannot find/read NvCpl.dll . I was able to find it when I veiwed it with notepad. The dll file was garble. My desktop colors are off and when I try and adjust the color XP reboots on its own or the screen goes blank.
Thank you for any assistance.

Hi.
I also got that freaking problem with winxp not finding nvcpl.dll and weeping bad dynamic link libraries. Moreover, it also seemed like I was stuck at 800*600 resolution and 4-bits (16-colors) color quality. Strangely, this resulted from a windows update (!) pertaining to fixing bad or missing libraries (congrats on that, bill). I have tried next to a million things to fix the problem, including reinstalling the drivers without any form of success, it even nearly destroyed my machine. I have a solution if your problem ALSO RESULTS FROM A SAD WINDOWS UPDATE ON WINXP(if not, it might be helpless).I think it will also work only if you perform windows update from time to time. I've included a thousand keywords in that to help would-be google searchers with the exact same problem as mine. Hope it helps. SO HERE IS HOW I FIXED THE DAMN THING. 1) Reboot the machine 2) After the typical memory tests, press F8 to access the boot menu 3)Choose the 'safe' mode and let her boot 4) You should get a popup explaining you are running safe mode and will be given the choice to either 'YES' continue working in safe mode or 'NO' restore the system from a previous version. 5) Choose 'NO'. 6) You should then get to something that looks like a calendar with some date in bold letters. Those bold letters represents the dates at which wour system was backed-up automatically by windows. 7)Choose a date previous to the f**kall and proceed (don't worry, everything is reversible if need be). 8) Win will auto reboot your system 9)You should be OK.
Take care y'all. If you come across Bill, greet him for me (gee!)

I just have had this problem under windows XP.
I solved the problem in 2 minutes, simply by using the "restore system" tool of windows XP. When you are using this feature, you are being proposed between several automaticaly saved images of your system, presented on a calendar. I chose yesterday system save and now... yuhu! It works all right again.
A few times ago, I almost followed an advise from a technical website, encouraging the disabling of the restore system tool to spare some memory. Finally I did not... How glad I am to have kept this GREAT restore system feature!!!!

ryks 2003-05-17 00:12
Try this - it worked for me.
After boot up i got the following error message: "An exception error occured while trying to run NvCpl.dll, NvStartup.
I downloaded and ran the free version of Ad-aware5 from this site http://www.lavasoft.nu/index.html
deleted the intrusive files - and the error went away.

Dana 2003-07-09 09:38
Okay guys, I don't know if this is the problem or not, but I had to reinstall on win2k and the install couldn't find half the files. I did a file search and found that they were distributed throughout the WINNT dir. Some were under /system32, /drivers, and /help, etc. So try plain ol' 'file search' and maybe they are there.

wildfire 2003-07-11 22:34
OK EVERYONE I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!!!
this problem has happened to me so many times maybe about 5 times with my GF4 mx420... lol. by the way if you replace that nvcpl.dll file, it won't help anyways. so here's what you do:
first make sure you download the latest drivers or if you can't do that make sure you have the first driver you have (the one that came with the card to begin with) then maybe update after you fix this.
now that that's taken care of, go to your start bar, then go to your control panel, then click system, then click the hardware tab, then click device manager. it will list all the devices in your computer. look for something saying display adapters. then click the little plus sign (+) and it will show your current video card. highlight it and then click delete, which will cause it to uninstall itself possibly asking you to restart your computer. when you get back to windows, your card will be at the worst settings because the drivers haven't been installed yet. this is called VGA mode, but it still looks better than the messed up colors when nvcpl is missing. when windows detects your nvidia card, cancel the wizard and go straight to your downloaded drivers, or if you don't have that, put in the driver disc that came with your card to begin with and install those drivers. it may ask you to restart your system with some cards to complete the install, but on the other hand, it may not ask you to do so. when you are done with these steps. your card should be up and running the way it should.
hit me up at wildfire4949@hotmail.com if you need anymore help with this thing!!
p.s. print these instructions you may need to do this again. this problem happened a lot when i had to cancel a cd burning program and if it caused my system to freeze.
by the way i switched to ati, i love this 9700 Radeon pro!!!

I have a great and simple solution to the dreaded problem
C:\Windows\system\NvCpl.dll
Missing Entry:NvStartup
Laptop: Toshiba 2805 S-402
O/S Windows 98 SE
Video Card: NVidia GE Force 2 Go (16MB RAM)
Ok,
You guys are going to love me!
After battling with this problem for a couple of weeks, going to every possible web site
Following the step by step instructions with NO results.
Here is the solution!
1) Click Start
2) Click Run
3) Type: msconfig
4) Click OK
5) Select Startup Tab
6) Uncheck NvStartup
7) Click Apply
8) Reboot
P. S. There may be another Nvidia box that needs to be UNCHECKED that has an Nvidia file (this depends on your system and configuration) this box is located in the same place (msconfig) as mentioned above. You may need to scroll down the list and look for anything that addresses Nvidia.
Good Luck

Ok, so yes I have the same problem as you all do. I can't do the 'system restore' trick because I have it disabled on my system because of some virus crap. Going into msconfig, it doesnt list anything having to do with Nvidia in there (maybe thats the problem). So that didn't work. Only thing I havent tried is going to device manager and rolling back the video drivers. Try that out, and Ill let everyone know how its going.

In Win98, my msconfig-startup tab shows two Nvidia programs that "magically appeared from nowhere" after I ran the installation program that was to update my drivers.
NvMediaCenter
NvCplDaemon
These were the two programs that had been added. Hope this helps.
Since I haven't yet restarted my PC, I'm only hoping that this will fix my problem. If you don't hear from me, then my PC is cleansed!!
Death to stupid programmers! It'll make life so much simpler for us smart ones.

Just an update!
My PC is working fine, and no error message.

I've got this stoopid problem, but my card is a radeon 9800 pro. i've uninstalled all the drivers (both the card and the nforce motherboard) yet i still get the missing nvcpl.dll error. any ideas?

Re Nvstartup. Got this when downloading the new win98 TNT2 Nvidia drivers on Pcanswers drivers disk. Caused havoc! Eventually managed to load from Nvidia's home page but that didn't help. The advice above helped. I ran Ad-aware 6 in safe mode & got 9 dodgey items. Clearing these appears to have worked.

It looks to me like the nvcpl.dll does not get updated when new drivers are installed, even though a new one gets put in the folder where you unzipped the new drivers. I had this problem and solved it quickly.
1. Make a copy of the nvcpl.dll file that is in the unzipped folder.
2. Rename it to nvcplX.dll (or anything you want)
3. Copy it to the Windows/System folder
4. Restart the system in DOS mode
5. Type:
cd\windows\system
del nvcpl.dll
(or ren nvcpl.dll nvcplOK.dll if you want to save it)
ren nvcplX.dll nvcpl.dll
exit
When your computer re-starts Windows, the error should be gone - worked for me, but this is a preXP fix.

Here's what happened to me...
Short answer: Try reinstalling Windows Accessibility. (In *my* case.) (nVidia Desktop Manager and some other features use parts of Windows Accessibility.)
A longer answer:
(Even if the missing DLL in your case is one other than oleacc.dll, this will work.)
The problem is not a missing or unregistered NvCpl.dll file.
Rather, it is a missing dll used by NvCpl.dll. (Yes, DLLs can use other DLLs!) The culprit on my own system was oleacc.dll -- missing!
How could I tell? With FileAlyzer, a handy tool from the makers of Spybot S&D (http://spybot.eon.net.au), I got a list of DLLs imported by NvCpl.dll, then checked to see which ones were not present and registered. Find the most recent version of the missing DLL or DLLs (They may be backed up on your very own hard drive) and copy them to %SYSTEM%. nVidia driver package automatically reinstalls on startup with nwiz, and your recovered DLLs are registered for use with nVidia Control Panel.

I had the same problem with message "Error Loading C:\Windows\system\NvCpl.dll" after installing a clean Win98 system and the latest NVidia drivers.
I followed J B W Shane's tip and installed Windows Accessibility (which I hadn't included in the original install) and the next reboot the message has disappeared!
Tops! Many thanks for all posters
