Title: devldr32.exe Gah WTH Make it die!
Post by: hubsonfire on May 19, 2006, 05:25:43 PM

Was trying to cleanup my PC today, dumping all the old drivers and assorted software for components I no longer have installed. When I removed my SB PCI128 garbage, I apparently somehow trashed my SB Live! drivers. Reinstalled the drivers, went through, got my settings back in order.

Now, I've got a process that I can't get to stay dead. Devldr32.exe keeps restarting. I can't find it, nor figure out what it is. Is this something I brought on with the driver install, did I screw something up, or is this unrelated.

Appreciate the help, drivers and background processes aren't exactly my specialties.

What a complete and total PITA, brought about by trying to delete drivers from a sound card that hasn't been installed in months. :mad:

Boot to safe mode (F8) and search for the file in question.  Delete it and it should stay dead 8)

Apparently certain versions were buggy, but not so buggy that it wouldn't immediately replace the file when it was deleted. I apparently had some issue with drivers, or created one, so I finally resorted to uninstalling the card, deleting everything from Creative, reinstalling the card and drivers, then replacing that file with another version that windows had squirreled away, rebooted, and voila.

:rolleyes:

Hub, In your registry they sometimes put them in the startup in registry.  Here is were u find it in the registry.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To get to your registry click start then run.  Then type regedit and hit enter.  Now I WARN ya.  Back up the reg before u change anything as this is the heart of windows.  1 wrong move here can crash the system.   I take no responsibility here for your mistakes, hehe.
