    Each time I boot up or restart my PC I get this error at the end of boot process:
    Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvCpl.dll
    I ran Tune Up Registry Cleaner (clean up and repair), Tune Up Registry Defrag and also AdAware and the problem still persists. Before I upgraded my PC last week, I had ME on a 20G hard drive. I added a 120G hard drive and installed XP on it. I left the 20G untouched. At the end of the installation the error did not show up. I brought my PC home from the office and at first boot up the error showed up. I run Norton 2004 Internet Security. I upgraded the RAM from 128 to 512MB. The CPU is a 930MHz.
    Anybody has any idea where this error comes from? How to solve it? And what does it cause to the system?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Jean :) Well, in case you don;t know what it is here's the definition of the file NvCpl definition . Sounds like you might have upgraded your Nvidia proggie or lost a driver or just munched the file. Here's where you can find a replacement Nvidia.dll in case you need to delete the maybe corrupt file and replace it with a good one. Dunno if this will help, but maybe.

    If the above doesn't work, uninstall your Nvidia drivers through the programs own uninstaller preferably, or use Add/Remove if not available.

    Then just reinstall your video card drivers.

    Thank you for your help. I finally installed a new Nvidia driver and it fixed the problem.
