Ok, figured I'd put it here since it only happens whenever I install a new game, and then i have to do a system restore to get rid of it.

After trying to install Fable: Lost Chapters, Worms 3D, and CoD4, after i shut down my computer and turn it back on, i get this message:

Message Title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Program Path: C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe

This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way. And as I'm writing this, as soon as i close out that error, i get an "Error loading nvcpl.dll" thingy.

Wondering, since the nvcpl.dll I think is a Nvidia dll that should i update my nvidia drivers to something else other than 169.09 or reinstall 169.09, and should i install the latest run-time, or what? i can't figure it out.
