What is exactly the error message saying?... Is it a message box or an in-line error?

It says

" [Exception: Exception been thrown by the target of an invocation: Unable to load DLL' nvcpl.dll': The specified module could not be found. ( Exception from HResult: 0x8007007e)]".

It's an in line error.

So it's not a LCD Smartie error :? Something is going wrong with the nvidia control panel dll (maybe the structure is different in your driver version) (!).
Ca you try an older version?

There is something fishy with your nvidia driver, maybe it's a problem with the newest version.

Can someone confirm that this plugin works or has problems with nvidia drivers 91.47 or newer?

I will try asap on my testing machine (will take a while to get to it).
I'm using 91.31 now and it works perfectly.

PS: PM me with your e-mail so I'll send you the nvcpl.dll or get it from someone and see if this solves your problem.

Thnaks Caesar. No luck with it. It probably has something to do with the fact that it is a 64bit driver. Maybe the plugin is not 64 bit compatible. Not sure. Thanks for your help though. Anyone with a 64bit OS get this plugin to work?

The only problem is that nvidia changed the way that the temperature is reported.

Until now it could be fetched from external programs through nvcpl.dll.

Will this be fixed in a new release of nvtemp.dll?

I have tried the newest driver versions and it works fine for me. (XP and 2003 32-bit)

Are you using the official drivers from nVidia or the card's manufacturer versions?

Does this work in n32 bit vista?

Not tested yet but if it works in win2003 32-bit it should work fine in Vista 32 too.

I'm running Vista 32Bit Business on an administrator account with UAC turned off. I got the newest nVidia drivers installed (100.65) and it doesn't work.

Try and do a search on your hard drive for "nvcpl.dll". If you can't find it than nvidia changed the driver structure and until they publish a new way to get the temps nothing can be done.

If you can find it on your drive, please send me a copy and i'll try to work something out.
Don't have Vista yet so I can't test it.

nvcpl.dll is still present, in, c:\windows\system32\

The file is 8.03 MB, created 9th of October '06. The File version is 7.15.11.65.

The dll-file is here: nvcpl.dll

Hope this helps.

I just tried clicking both of the Download links, and they both seemed to work fine - Internet Explorer popped up a download window for the zip files. I cancelled the download, but the links do work (for me at least).

If I wasn't logged in, I couldn't have posted now could I :)

There were 3 links earlier, none local. All three were dead. They were replaced with the 2 we have now, both working :)

The lastest version of Everest can read GPU temp's so I currently use the everest plugin for LCD-Smartie for all temp and fan readings. Works great! The Everest-betaversion also has an included Windows Vista Sideshow gadget. :D

It looks like you are getting some numbers, otherwise it wouldn't throw that error, please check your slowdown threshold and see that it matches the one for your card.
