Disable pop up box?

[Dridmar]

Sort of game related. My new laptop refuses to let me use Nvidia to play Halflife. I found a fix and have it working but there's one minor annoyance with it. Upon computer startup, the file opens and forces Nvidia to run HL but I get a pop up box saying "Profile Imported Sucessfully". I'd like the file to open without seeing that box. Is it possible to make it work like that?

You could spend some time learning basic assembly. After that download and use OllyDbg to disassemble the .exe file and look for the specific jump that triggers the popup box and nop it, then reassemble the .exe file. Though it might be more complicated than that.

It's a lot of effort to remove a popup box though.

Actually, I've no clue as to what pop-up which you would be referring to. What nVidia program are you using to run MSC that would do such a thing? Also not sure why it would require any additional program.

I'm using NvidiaInspector and importing a custom profile for Halflife

Ye could try using the driver's own profile system, rather than this third party one. They don't cause a popup when switching profiles.

When I try using it, the default option is using integrated graphics, with the whole box being greyed out so I can't switch it even if I wanted to. It's the same problem as this. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=196707
and the picture in post #4 shows the unchangeable profile.

Got some weird thing going on here where it has to switch to the proper graphics card via the profile eh? Hrmmm... Not ran into that before.

Best I could think of is use nVidia Inspector to delete the hl.exe profile, and recreate it in the nVidia Control Panel, that'll hopefully allow your odd video drivers to set the GPU. Mind you, that if it fubars you'll have to do a clean driver reinstall to get the default hl.exe profile back.
