I find this hard to believe

Trust Grim to install a prog and not check what name it runs under.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Sorry couldn't help myself but I though the name would have been self explanatory. :D

[aznx]

lmao....................:eek:

[Grim Reaper]

well actually guys i don't have that program runnin nemore :p...ive checked everythin that starts up with windows & nothin like that...any more idea's? :(


Edit: actually found one thing. this: RUNDLL32.EXE NvQTwk,NvCplDaemon initialize...now wtf is that? maybe thats what it is coz i don't like the sound of Daemon :(

[Olie]

my pc used to run on 8-10% free :D

[Wiggo]

That sounds like a nVidia tweakin' proggy Grim. :?:

[Grim Reaper]

hrm, i don't think i have ne installed...i have tried GeForce Tweak Util but that made my benchmark score high but the graphix were absolutely ****house! well im gonna stop this from runnin to see if its causin the prob..

[Wiggo]

Maybe ya din't completely uninstall it. :?:

[sKuLLsHoT]

it may just be coincidence, but woody had a prob with some "feature" of winxp that scans your system for media, ie mp3/avi etc in the background and it catalogs the info pertaining to media length, type, format, size quality etc... when this proggy finds a "dud" file it gets stuck on it trying to get info about it, and tends to sit at 99-100 CPU usage (low priority so everythin else is good)...

maybe its that?!

edit: just to note, win NT5 (w2k/xp) when in "idle" state, automatically issues a halt instruction to the CPU, this is effectively all the different cpu cooling programs did with idle's in win9x, so afaik these proggy's are unnecessary under win2k/winXP...ask saomeone that switched from 9x to 2k without using any s/w cooler before changing...hey i'm one of them;) but yeah, just another point to note...

[Grim Reaper]

rofl, damn that service would have had a fun time goin thru all woodies mp3's catalogin em all..rofl!

[ne0z]

RUNDLL32.EXE NvQTwk,NvCplDaemon is I think the Detonator Drivers tweak utility if I remember correctly. Hope this helps.

[Grim Reaper]

oh ****, maybe i should re-enable it then...

[Mr. C]

Another option might be to disable it at start-up. Then just open it when you are going to use it.
Video card tweaks aren't really going to add much to the forum's for example.

ive found it...it was some CPUCool thing, that CoolSrv...i don't y CPUCool would eat up so much CPU

[Wiggo]

Maybe it was because it was fighting with the naturally found software in XP? :?:

That's what you want it to do Grim....... if its chewing up 99% of your CPU in Task Manager it's really turning off 99% of your CPU to save power and reduce heat. Simple! :)
