Error in nvqtwk.dill
missing entry NvXTInit
Everything seems to running ok except for a Program error once in a while.

What to do, What to do ?

When my computer is starting up and the desk top
boots up I receive the rundll error message
Error in C:\windows\system\nvcpl.dll
missing entry:nvstartup

Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

From some other forums i've heard the problem originates because the old drivers need to be completely removed first. Can anyne shine any light on this.

thanks in advance,

:: I had the exact same problem as above and your fix worked for me. I don't know how to get it out of msconfig, but at least it does not pop up anymore and the driver seems to work fine.

: : : I am getting this same error message after installing 28.32 on Win Me. I am also very interested in resolving this error.

: : :
: : : : Having just installed latest Nvidia Detonator driver
: : : : 28.32. I get this error message: "Error in NVQTWK.dll
: : : : missing entry: NvXTInit" Can anyone help please?

Go here for the solution:

For anyone interested, a *cpl.dll is a file used for settings listed in Control Panel, as a Dynamic Link Library. i.e. If it creates an icon in Control Panel (or maybe even systray?) then it uses this file.

If you are not using the Coolbits or Detonator drivers, a setting that you might play with is on the display settings: change them to NOT display in the systray, and reboot.

I had the same problem as above, here is what I did to fix mine:

1) made the mistake of not removing the original drivers via add/remove programs.
Also made the mistake of trying to reload the Nvidia drivers a second time BEFORE trying everything from 2) onwards. By not doing this, I then got an Nvidia setup error - 'setup was unable to delete the following file: nvdmcpl.dll. Install will be terminated'.
It didn't terminate the install.

2) created a folder to store 'stuff' in.

3) did a search for NVCPL.DLL's, I found 2 of them, I copied them to the 'stuff' folder, remember since they are named the same, you have to copy them one at a time, rename the first one, then copy the other one. note the SIZE of these, and which one was in the C:\Nvidia\Win9x folder, and which one is in the C\windows\system folder. I named mine NNvcpl.dll and Wnvcpl.dll.

4) disabled Norton A/V.

5) changed the screen resolution back
to 640x480.

6) rebooted.

7) removed Nvidia drivers via add/remove programs.

8) rebooted

9) went into the registry, exported a copy of it first, then I went to Hkey_local_Machine-software-microsoft-windows-current version-run-NvCplDaemon - "rundll32.exe c:\windows\system\nvcpl.dll,nvstartup"
You will need to expand the size of the right pane to see all of this key.
Then I just renamed this key to XNvCplDaemonX simply because I am scared to remove any keys.

10) rebooted

11) Assuming you have already downloaded the latest drivers from Nvidia, I reinstalled them - 41.09_win9x.exe

12) rebooted

13) still had the nvcpl in startup error msg.

14) looked to see which Nvcpl.dll was in c:\windows\system (by size), I renamed it to nvcpl.old, and I brought in the 'original' one that I had copied from the C\W\S folder from step 2 back into here, named it back to nvcpl.dll. 920kb.

15) rebooted

16) that didn't fix it

17) deleted that nvcpl.dll from C\W\S and copied in the other one, which was 4000kb.

18) rebooted.

19) somehow, in some way, everything worked, no error messages, and when I look in settings\control panel\system\hardware\display adapters, looked at driver details, I now have version 4.13.01.4109.

20) I looked in the registry, the one I commented out is still there, commented out, but there is an identical one there, absolutely identical to the one i commented out.
I changed nothing here, I left it alone.

21) rebooted again, for the heck of it.

22) note there will also be a new nvcpl.dll in the Nvidia folder that is created when you load the new Nvidia drivers. I did not do anything with that one.

23) still no problems, all is fine.

REALIZE the reason Nvidia (probably) won't help with this is because you have to go into the registry, and I don't know of any companies that encourage or 'authorize' folks to do this.
They don't want clueless folks totally killing their computers.

I also had the Error: NVQWTK.DLL missing NvXTInit entry problem (I don't remember it verbatim because the following fixed it!):

Follow the procedures on:

http://web.mit.edu/is/blt/dontindex/Readme.txt

Missing entry: NvStartup

After reading the various fixes here on this site, I sythesized them together and simply went into c:\nvidia\win9x and clipboard copied the "new" bigger nvcpl.dll; then went to c:\windows\system file and renamed the "old" smaller nvcpl.dll to nvcpl.old; then pasted the "new" nvcpl.dll to c:\windows\system. I then crossed my fingers and did a restart--with the desired effect of eliminating the startup error message and unleashing the power of my geforce card with no ill effects on any other programs.

Uninstall the current updated NVIDIA drivers, then re-install them in safe mode. The computer should recognize it at start-up all by itself. That worked for me, after days of trying.

I'm having similar problems, only this damned thing won't let me back in. It says

Error loading C:\windows\system32\NvCpl.dll
A dymanic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

I can't get back in to deal with it. And, of course, I didn't get a disk to help me with such a problem as this when I bought this piece of crap.

Upon starting, I get a dialog box that said "Error loading C:\Windows\System32NvCpl.dll A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed"

Well, I have to retract what I said about Hewlett Packard being pigs. They did come thru for me and got me an address. My problem was inability to get a blue screen and thus inability to access the restore stuff on the hard drive. In case you didn't know, all XP systems do NOT come with restore disks because it is right there on your computer. Trouble is, I couldn't get a blue screen to access it.

At any rate, HP has given me an address to write to to get the disk. In case you would like to have it...

HP Quick Restore Prgm
Attn: QR Order
P.O. Box 40728
Houston, Texas 77240

They sell the QR CD for $15 and $8 for this other disk that has all the latest drivers.
So, in total, tax and all, it comes to $24.73. That is, if you have gone beyond the 3 months warranty time for software.

With this disk, I am supposed to be able to get a NONdestructive restore, back to what it was before.

- Go into Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, and remove the nVidia software.

- Reboot

- Error is still coming up, but ignore it.

- Install a fresh copy of the new drivers from their website.

- Reboot

- Error should be gone.

Let me know (on here) if this works for you...or if it doesn't... =)

It seems that we've all suffered the same problem. By downloading new drivers from Nvidia (suggested by support at LucasArts - gee thanks guys)a perfectly reasonable system got f**d.

Click Start > Run > type msconfig and click OK. Click the startup tab. Check all your checked startup entries with this List. If it is not necessary for then to load at startup, uncheck them. Click apply/ok and reboot.

I ran Start/Run/MSconfig/Startup and deleted all the stuff which should not be there including all Nvidia/dll stuff

Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Bye

Hi Neil,
I have experienced the same error that you encountered.

error in: C\Windows\System\NvCpl.dll
Missing entry: NvStartup

I uninstall my drivers before i try to reinstall them, but using xp it automatically installs them when i rebot, how do i stop this? please help

error in: C\Windows\System\NvCpl.dll
Missing entry: NvStartup

I've had this problem myself. My solution is first uninstall ur currently installed nvidia drivers, then reboot. U'll notice the error is still there. Then copy the NvCpl.dll file from ur C:\Nvidia directory, which is still there after uninstall, to C:\Windows\System. Then reboot again and the error is gone!! Now u can install ur newest drivers again without any probs. For me, using Win98se, it worked! Good luck!

Greetz,

ERROR LOADING C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvCpl.dll
A dynamic link library (DLL) initializatin routine failed.

My screen resolution is stuck at 800x600 and my color quality is stuck at 4 bit (only choice). I did a google search and this looks like the most likely place to find an answer.

Everything was working fine until I tried to re-hook my HP ScanJet 4400c scanner up. I run Windows XP Home Edition & KDS XtremeFLAT Monitor.

I really need to get this image scanned today, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Email if you prefer.

Error loading NvQTwk
The specific module could not be found.

Note, if running WinXP home or prof, you may have to turn off system restore before following the above steps, and then turn it back on after you've rebooted and the error has stopped appearing. To turn off system restore, go to Start>Control Panel>System and then go to the System Restore tab.

I have been having the same problem with the nVidia 64mb GeForce card. Over the past month I had had 2-3device driver failure messages,but my pc continued to work fine. I installed the latest nvidia drivers last week. Then 3 days ago my PC froze while I was in a program. I rebooted and while Win XP (prof Ed) was loading the screen would freeze. I powered down and rebooted. I was brought into the Advanced Windows Setup screen (which gave you the options to reboot in 10 different modes), but my keyboard and mouse would not function. They would work whenmy PC was loading the bios,but once the O/S began loading they would freeze. I then used an emergency boot disk to start up but couldn't get to my C drive,since it said there was an invalid volume on drive C. I thought I had lost everything, but the next time I rebooted and was taken the advance startup screen,my keyboard and mouse worked. I rebooted into Safe mode and then received the first error message that my Win/Sys32/nvcpl.dll file could not be loaded since an initialization routine failed.

After uninstalling the nVidia drivers, I can only boot into Safe Mode, but cannot boot normally. Each time I boot normally I receive I can logon to Win XP and then get a blue screen (where Windows shuts down). I get the following error message: STOP: 0x008E (ox005,0x8057E271,0xF6FFCC60,0x00). Microsoft's site said this message related to a RAM problem when XP loads. They suggest to remove some RAM and reboot.

Is this "RAM" problem just the same problem when XP tries to load the nividia drivers? After unstalling the nvidia drivers, do I need to install the basic VGA drivers. Where do I do this??

After loading the vga drivers, do I then reinstall the new nvidia drivers using the instructions from the past postings?

I'm running Windows 98 second edition, with a Nvidia GeForce2 card. On start up my screen is in 800 x 600 mode and I can't alter it - display in control panel tells me my default printer is disabled but it isn't. My computer identifies a plug and play monitor and a default monitor both running with the Nividia graphics - I only have one monitor.

You don't want it.

To get rid of it run spybot Search and destroy:
