    Lightbulb Error Message At Boot Up

    Hi Guys,

    Ive had my pc for a while now but for the past week or two I get an error message when I boot up and the 'twanging' sound with it lol

    The error message reads:-

    ================================================== ===============================
    DPW Manager

    Could not find any compatible Direct3D devices.
    ================================================== ===============================

    I have googled the error message but have not found much that can help me so far.

    I have the latest video drivers, I have checked the settings in the nVidia control panel which shows 3D is enabled etc...

    Could anyone help me to get rid of this error message please?

    PC Spec:-

    nVidia GTX 680 4GB
    Windows 7

    Cheers!

    A few simple things can check first off

    Have you tried a chkdsk scan?
    Start - type cmd and press enter. Type chkdsk /f /r press enter. Press Y then enter again and restart.

    Have you tried a SFC scan
    Start - type cmd and right click cmd and run as admin

    type sfc /scannow press Enter.

    Have ya tried the new 600 series beta drivers from Nvidia?

    win7-winvista-64bit-304.48-beta-driver

    Download CCCleaner and run it and clear all your comp crud.
    CCleaner download

    I have tried all of your instructions but I still get the error message when I boot up

    I will search the nVidia forums and see if I can find any help there.

    Thanks for your advice and the links you provided for me
