Everytime I bootup the computer I get these two error messages. I don't know why I got them but it interferes with loading software, ANd I am sure it interferes with other things I haven't discovered. How do I get these errors fixed and get the missing entries back? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you ever get an answer????

NoThis is the message I get after boot-up: Error in c:\windows\system32\nvcpl.dll Missing entry: nvstartupWhat do I need to do to get rid of this error message.

Maybe someday the XP forums "Ask a question " dialog will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I do not have to ask them every single time. It might even be possible to resolve an issue in a single reply when enough information is provided.Please provide additional information about your system:What is your system make and model?What is your XP Version and Service Pack?If you are using an NVIDIA video system (either on the motherboard or an add-in card), the installation of the NVIDIA software optionally adds one or more startup items to launch the NVIDIA control panel. They are set to launch and run every time your system boots.If it was working before and you have done some system updates lately, something is out of whack with it and/or your system has a malicious software affliction.To see what the commands look like, click Start, Run and in the box enter:msconfigClick OK to launch the System Configuration Utility and click the Startup tab to see the Startup Items. You may have to slide the columns around to better see things and since msconfig is not a startup manager (it is a troubleshooting tool) you can't' make the display any wider.Items with a check in the box will be launched automatically every time XP restarts. Items with no check in the box are still "installed" but not configured to launch automatically every time XP starts.The NVIDIA related startup line(s) you see in msconfig Startup tab will look something like this:RunDLL32.exe NvCpl.dll,NvStartupRunDLL32.exe NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInitIf either the NvMcTray.dll or the NvCPL.dll files are somehow missing, corrupted, mismatched, out of date or the wrong versions (maybe from somerecent update), when the NVIDIA applications try to launch, you may see messages like this (or similar complaining):rundll32.exe - Bad ImageThe application of DLL c:\windows\system32\nvmctray.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.RUNDLLError loading c:\windows\system32\nvmctray.dll%1 is not a valid Win32 applicationIf you don't think you are using the NVIDIA control panel, you could just disable the item(s) is msconfig to stop it from launching when you start your computer. If you are using the NVIDIA control panel, disabling the items will leave your system with no NVIDIA control panel (this may not be a good thing).You could just go ahead and disable the startup item(s) in msconfig (disabling does not uninstall anything), reboot your system and see how your system works. If things get worse, you can run msconfig again and reenable the NVIDIA items, but hopefully you will want to fix things the right way.Disabling items in msconfig is not really fixing things and you will not have an NVIDIA control panel, but some folks don't even know what the NVIDIA control panel looks like so that may be fine. You will have stopped the message from popping up on every startup.If you want to use the NVIDIA control panel features, you need to repair or reinstall your NVIDIA software. The best way to reinstall the NVIDIA software is to visit the NVIDIA support web page and either let it check your system and recommend the bestsoftware for your system or for you to find the correct version of software yourself on their web page and download the latest video driver softwarepackage for your system and install it yourself.It is recommended to run the NVIDIA scan with Internet Explorer.Here is the link to the NVIDIA support page for the scan:http://www.nvidia.com/Download/PreScan.aspx?lang=en-usRead the directions, then click the GRAPHICS DRIVERS button to start the scan.Let their online scanner take a look at your video system and see what it suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they suggest a newdriver.Download and install the recommended driver and reboot your system.If following their directions does not straighten things out, then do this:Describe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc. Click Start, Run and in the box enter: msinfo32 Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here.For video driver information, expand the Components, click Display, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information.This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork.There will be some personal information (like System Name and User Name), and whatever appears to be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted information.At some point I would recommend you do this too:Perform some scans for malicious software, then fix any remaining issues:Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/They can be uninstalled later if desired. Do, or do not. There is no try.I decided to save up points for a new puppy instead of a pony!
