Does the XP registry hold Nvidia video card settings?

[Guest beemer]

A problem that I share with others is that the Nvidia Control panel fails to

open. This was cured when I did a registry fix to enable an older "Classic

Control Panel". After a second try to open the Classic version it too will

not open.

 

I now cannot change the brightness or contrast of either of my two displays

as the control panel when it was working adjusted the levels beyond the

display's own manual adjustment.

 

Despite uninstalling, cleaning out old drivers and reinstalling the driver

(new and old) I cannot get the Nvidia control panel to open.

 

This is why I am wanting to know if I can "reset" the NVidia to its default

through the XP registry?

 

Hope someone can help.

 

regards,

 

Beemer

Hopefully something here will work.

 

Try registering these files:

Open the Run box and, one at a time, enter:

regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvcpl.dll

regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvcpl.cpl

 

See if you can open the nVidia Control Panel

manually. Open the Run box and enter:

%SystemRoot%\system32\nvcplui.exe

 

Are you sure you've got the latest driver?

There is a link here to do an automatic scan:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

 

These keys and their subkeys hold the settings:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\nView]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak\Defaults\Overlay]

Tried your suggestion with the following errors:

 

nvcpl.dll

 

DllRegisterServer in C:\windows\system32\nvcpl.dll failed

Return code was 0x80070005

 

nvcpl.cpl

message received was:

 

C:\windows\system32\nvcpl.cpl was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry

point ws not found.

 

C:\windows\system32\nvcpl.cpl does not appear to be a .dll or .ocx file.

 

what does this mean?

 

regards,

 

Beemer

Re: Does the XP registry hold Nvidia video card settings?

 

some bios's have the

option to disable agp

and enable pci video.

 

however, the issue

you have is ultimately

one that needs to be

answered by the nvidia

techs.

That's not actually an error, but a message. It

means that the file cannot be registered. That

just eliminates one possibility.

 

> "DllRegisterServer in C:\windows\system32\nvcpl.dll

failed. Return code was: 0x80070005

 

That's a problem. Usually it is recomended to

uninstall nVidia, reboot and install the latest

version. (Because it is easier than trying to

figure out what the actual problem is) But since

you said you already did that you're going to

find it hard to solve this problem. Keep looking.

 

 

Did this work?

 

See if you can open the nVidia Control Panel

manually. Open the Run box and enter:

%SystemRoot%\system32\nvcplui.exe
