Problem with registry, then nvcpl.dll

[Guest]

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

Your video card could be failing. Uninstall it and swap it out for a
known-working one. If the problem disappears, you know the original
card needs to be replaced.

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

I just reinstalled the same driver as I had always used, because in
system>hardware devices it kept losing the driver. Now my sound card is
doing the exact same thing. Is it likely to be the motherboard rather than
the graphics card?

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.
