    Nvvsvs.exe runtime error


    Hello I am having a problem with my computer and I truly do not know why this is occurring. I decided to swift ny external hd and external DVD drive from the old comp to the new comp. Then whn I started up my new comp, and while starting this popup appeared, even the welcome letters did not appear and this pop up kept on appearing
    Program: C:\Windows\system32\nvvsvs.exe

    This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.'

    So I cannot login normally, I decide to go on safe mode however that is not loading up either none of the three safe modes are working. The only thing I can do is startup repair but it finds nothing. Please advise me what to do thank you

    Hi burp61. Welcome to SF :).

    It appears that nvvsvs.exe is part of your nvidia display driver package and has somewhow become corrupted. Since you can't boot into windows or safe mode, you could try using a System Repair disk to do a System Restore (scroll down to option 2), choosing a restore point predating the issue (if you have one).

    If you are unable to restore back to a point predating the issue (or it doesn't correct it), you could use the System Repair disk to boot to a command prompt, then navigate to C:\Windows\system32 and delete the nvvsvs.exe
    file. I think then that windows might load a generic driver, allowing windows to load.

    Once in Windows, immediately create a System Restore point. I would then uninstall the nvidia display drivers and install the latest drivers. Let us know how it goes.

    I used the repair your computer option and selected command prompt, the command started in x:windows/system32. So I put del nvvsvc.exe but it could not find the file specified. So I tried c: dir but tht only had a boot sect file.

    Someone may come along who has experienced your issue, but your best bet may be to post at the nvidia forums:

    NVIDIA Forums

    There may be a utility or method to uninstall the drivers via the command prompt, or to install new drivers via the command prompt.

    If you do find an answer there, please post back here to let us know.

    Edit: You were able to delete the file, presumably from the SysRepair disk command prompt. Did you try the System Restore from the same disk, as demonstrated in option 2 at the link above?

    It does not show any restore points, probably because it is pointing at the local disk x and not the main local disk d. I know all the data is still present as command prompt shows the files, I posted on the nvidia forums, thank you, is there anything else I can do at the moment.

    Are you sure you're not choosing to restore a system image instead of doing a system restore? System restore should not have any problem locating your restore points, as they will always be on your system drive.

    If you attempted to restore a system image as opposed to a system restore point or are are unsure, review the tutorial previously linked to and use the system repair disc again, being sure to choose system restore (not system image).

    Also, is your system drive designated as C:\ or D:\??? X?

    Hi Burp61, If you can get to BIOS during start-up go in and check your Boot Sequence. It seems maybe your external HDD has an OS on it and it's trying to boot from there.
    Boot sequence should be:
    USB device
    CD/DVD drive
    Hard Drive
    Temporarily remove USB from the 1st position and try again.

    No I chose system restore and system image and both of them do not work. My main drive is designated as d:. In system restore command prompt, it starts with x:.
    @britton360 after the first time I removed the external hard drive completely and now running with bare minimum, LAN keyboard mouse monitor power connection and nothing else.
