Anyone know what this is on my Startup?

I noticed that this is in my startup recently but I don't know what it is from. I did a virus scan but there's nothing.

I'm on Win2000 and this is in my HKLM, All Users, Run section

Name: NvCplDaemon

Path: RUNDLL32.EXE

Parameters: NvQTwk,NvCplDaemon initialize

TIA

Hmm, well daemon means "server" and since you're on Win2K make sure that you have not enabled any of the IIS features as a service.

There both nVidia.dll's
Nvidia quick tweak for tweaking the ol video card and I can't remember what the cpl is!

Does Nvidia have a reason to connect to the net?

What its doing in your start-up, I have no idea. What Video Card do you have there?

I have a Nvidia TNT 16MB (ouch, I know) and I just updated to the 12.00 drivers...I guess that's where it came from....I wonder why Nvidia needs something on the startup. Thanx for the posts.

I guess this is a little heads up then...if u install the 12.00 drivers (not sure about the other late ones) it puts something in u'r startup. I notice tho, that there are no additional processes running after startup and everything is acting the same.

I'm sure whatever it is doing is legit, I'm just curious as to why myself. They didn't say anything in the help files or FAQ's I presume?

of course not

...It hasn't tried to access the net yet...I will kick Nvidia's a$$ if it ever does

Nvcpl=nVidia control panel!

Duh, I'm slow as slow can be anymore.
Just thought you'd like to know the other portion.

You can disable it in startup & see what happens.
Or, block it with ZA so it can't access w/o your permission.
