Solved Nvvsvs.exe runtime error

[burp61]

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.

Here is some information that may help
nvvsvc.exe - What is nvvsvc.exe?

 

[burp61]

Nvm I deleted the file but the same thing happens except now with no popup of the nvvsvc.exe, it just flashes at welcome screen

 

[James Colbert]

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.

James

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?

 

[burp61]

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.

 

[burp61]

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.

 

[James Colbert]

Sorry...in and out today. Just to be clear, you have attempted a System Restore from the System restore button and the recovery menu (i.e., not via command prompt) and no recovery points show up in the windowed dialog box?

Secondly, have you tried the Start up Repair Option? It may be necessary to run it 3 separate times.

 

[burp61]

Yes and yes, about the only thing I can do is when I click windows image file and then advanced and then search for drivers, an explorer opens with a my computer like display showing all the hard drives, in my main hard drive, the data is still present, can we modify the files somehow to make it work

 

[James Colbert]

What happens when you boot? It makes it to the normal login screen? Then what?

You could also try running SFC from the recovery command prompt (from x:\windows\system32>).

The recovery command prompt can do just about anything a normal command prompt can do. You can download a commandline reference here:

You will likely need to unblock the file via right click\properties|general tab.

Then it just keeps on flashing at that welcome screen

 

[James Colbert]

In re-reading the thread, there seems to be limited and conflicting information.

Questions:

1. Why is your system drive designated as d:\?

2. Why, in your first post does the error originate in "this pop up kept on appearing Program: C:\Windows\system32\nvvsvs.exe"
2a. And also: "So I tried c: dir but tht only had a boot sect file. "

3. Did you remove the boot drive?

4. What type of system? Filling out your system specs would help.

Give as much information as you can about the switch over, how you did it and detailed results, presented in as logical and understandable fashion as possible, but don't bog us down with logs detailing all your system information.

it just keeps on flashing at that welcome screen

Could you please explain?

These details may give a clue as to what's happening.

Thanks,
James

Thank You for all your help however I decided to reformat my PC. Thx again

 

[Britton30]

you are welcome.

I have not decided or want to reformat my PC and this thread looks like it has knowledgeable experts following it. There are a half dozen threads from the past several years addressing the same issue - none have a solution or explain what the cause is.

This is the exact text of the error:
MS Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C\:windows\system32\nvvsvc.exe
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

In safe mode the startup stops at ATiPcie.sys that a search for found similar black screen with mouse complaints

The machine setup has worked fine for several months, and shutdown without any events last evening. This morning at startup the popup with a black screen appeared. I have tried all of the suggestions posted on the treads.

Events yesterday:

• Attempted to install autocad2012sp1x64.exe but it did not install due to the version installed is Civil 3D 2012 not ACAD2012.
• Installed PublishDWGtoGE.zip without issues - a new icon appeared in my ACAD GUI but have not tried it yet
• Changed my clear temporary files at startup script from shutdown to startup, restarted several times and seemed to work fine
• Cleared several GB of temp files that ACAD C3D accumulates - this has been done several times without problems
• This machine is used as a CAD workstation and is not used for games, entertainment, social networking (besides help forum threads), or other common uses that attract viruses. The only web browsing is to read the news and email.
• Note that this machine has a PCI-E solid state harddrive in Raid 0 - occasionally it triggers a disk check at startup due what has been assumed a driver issue that results in a poor shutdown, it has not been anything more than annoying - one of the other threads had a similar SSD raid 0 setup. I removed the startup script and ran a checkdisk in case they were conflicting.

I have access to the drive through a backup drive running the same OS; the specifics of the machine setup are documented here on a wiki page cee241:software:settings:tower [CIFE Wiki]

Finding a solution or at least the cause so it can be avoided next time is the goal.

Research: these are the six solutions posted to help forum threads

• restore - push F8 a lot, select option “Repair Computer” then logon before doing a system restore
• reinstall
• delete C\:windows\system32\nvvsvc.exe
• if able to log-in, then start» search» type services.msc» highlight nvvsvc» right click» properties» startup tab» pick manual» apply» ok and set Nvidia drivr line to manual, and Nvidia stereoscopic 3D line to disabled and then reboot
• reinstall - keep booting from disc and finally got the disc to display the setup
• reinstall from scratch and spend the next two weeks reinstalling, updating, and reconfiguring all my highly technical work software.
