    Hi randomly (i don't know what triggers it exactly) i'll start up windows and get a RunDLL error that says error loading NVCPL.DLL The specified module could not be found. to fix this I have to reinstall my Nvidia drivers and it works.. til the next time it happens (I'm really not sure what's triggering it... altho once I got 2 of those errors after exiting a starcraft game)

    I'm on Vista32 with the Sager 2090 WSXGA 8600m gt

    does anybody have an idea of what's happening and how to solve this for good? is it happening to anybody else?

    I had this problem on my desktop with my 8800gts on vista32, it turned out to be a problem with my hard drive. Try running defrag on your hard drive, that may fix the problem. Or do a consistency check on your hard drive if that doesnt work.

    just the ones that came with the cd and also i tried the ones on sager's website... i'm not sure where to find the version because ironically when i went to open the cp i realized it's missing again! lol now i have to reinstall display drivers all over again!
    however i can tell u that the actual display drivers appear to function perfectly.. so it's a control panel only issue... is there a way i can install only cp or get somethign like ati tray tools instead?
