hi all
i have hp pavillion laptop with vista home premium.
i was playing brothers in arms earned in blood, when i came out i git a pop-up telling me nvl***** could not read it in time sorry had failed and had to restart or something. all was fine then played another game for about 5 mins coming out of that i got the same pop-up. but could not do anything other thenmove the mouse pointer.
so i had to hard restart it got the post screen then a black screen,
so i turned it off left it a minute and tried again this time i got a start windows normaly or fix start-up so i went for the fix, got into windows but it kept flashing black screen with just the taskbar showing or the background with white icons. i managed to get into control panel and tried to rollback my graphic driver but it would not do it.
when i shut down, i started in safe mode wich went in fine but i have very very little knowledge in this matter can someone helpme please.

hi all just a little update i seem to be able to get into safe mode alright but when i start it in normal maode i get the flash or post screen the windows loading bar but that seems to be as far as it goes.every other time i get the option to try to fix start-up and this time i check the report page and the only problem that came up was at the bottom which read
acls on c:\windows\system32\KgyGaAvl.sys are not proper. old value=0x 12019f
i don't know if this has to do with trying to roll back my driver or is the problem causing me not to get windows to start?

That's a driver installed by DivX, and used particularly with Dr. DivX. Go into Safe Mode and try to uninstall all programs related to DivX. Then download fresh copies and reinstall. That should fix the problem is the DivX driver is corrupted.
If you can't do the uninstall in Safe Mode, then do it in normal Windows, but reboot after the uninstall in either case. _________________ Don't read? Can't learn!

hi thanks for the reply,
i could not even get into safe mode yesterday, until i remembered that the first time i didn't have my wireless turned on. when i turned it off i could get into safemode every time.
i ran a virus scan but found nothing i then run search and destroy which found a few things cleaned them, then thought what the hell and restarted and windows loaded i got a pop-up which said
nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recoverd 2 or 3 times.
so i restarted 1 more times and windows loaded normal i then shut down for a few minutes and tried again worked but every times i got the same pop-up.
then i switched wireless back on and now it has gone back to loading to aa black screen, but i can't seem to load windows even with wireless back off.
i'm hope this means my graphic card is still o.k maybe it's software, but why does it not load when wireless is on and how can i get it back now i turned it off.
i did up date my graphic driver about 2 weeks ago if that helps any
thankyou for your time
