How can I stop getting this error C:\windowssystem\nvsvc.dll Missing entry:nvsvc
« on: June 27, 2009, 07:09:15 AM »
Everytime I try to install a new Geforce driver for my Geforce 260 gtx, I get this error message pop up when windows starts.  Error in C:\windowssystem\nvsvc.dll Missing entry:nvsvcStart.

Seems I am stuck with using an older driver, unless someone here can help me out with this error. Thanks!!

You may need to uninstall/reinstall the nVidia Control Panel software as well...

Ok, is the Nvidia Control Panel a separate download?

Is your computer overclocked?

No it is not overclocked - Why, what are you thinking it could be? Like I said the old driver works fine, it's just when I try to install a more upto date one. Thanks!!

Just something I've run into in the past.  I'll keep looking for something on this for you.

I hate to say this, but I'm stumped.  I'm getting tired.

I checked NVidia's support site, I can't find a thing on it.  Have you tried phoning their customer support line?
(I hate saying that.) :-\

Can you post the entry from the event log?  That might help.

Are you installing the control panel with the driver or just the driver?

Just the driver - How would I install the control panel?

Yes I belive thats it, but I dont think it mentioned that it was also compatable with windows 7, like it does in the link you posted. I think the one I downloaded just said Vista 32bit.
