Marztabator Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Should I apply the registry tweak to disable the NVIDIA Helper Service *after* I've installed the actual drivers (that is if I install them the InstallShield way)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 You bring about a good point. I have all my reg hacks applyed be4 my drivers and applicaions, so disabling the Nvidia helper be4, most likely dordnt help much....Thou im not sure if it would creat the reg entry and replace it once the app is installed. My feeling is that the stock reg entires would over write them.Ill be checkin this out tonite when i debug my final Unattended CD|Drew| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Out of curiosity... why would you want to disable that service? What is it useful for? I am constantly looking information on services and try to disable the ones that are useless to me, and I was wondering what that one does. Thanks.(and what is the registry tweak to disable it?)

Aaron Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Yes, you can disable a service after installing an app/driver that installed the service beforehand.If you applied your main regtweaks before the nvidia installation, then you can make a seperate registry file just for disabling the Nvidia helper service to run just after the nvidia drivers have been installed.

Marztabator Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 Another thought came to me......... does installing the Drivers through "OemPnPDriversPath" cause the Helper Service to be enabled and automatic as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Not sure (haven't got an nvidia card). But I'm thinking it won't unless there's any references in the INF file that will install a service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laus_Sane Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 If I disable an service I use the windows tool sc to disable the "NVIDIA Helper Service" you can use this in your batch:sc config NVSvc start= disabledBye Laus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveXP Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Can i ask why you would wish to disable that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike500 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Can i ask why you would wish to disable that. It loads some of the driver configuration pages into memory, so it doesn't take ages to open the display properties. It just eats a bit of memory... at least i don't set my driver options all the time, and http://www.3dcenter.de/atuner/ is much better for that task anyway...
