Installed a demo for an indie title I was thinking of buying (will not be buying after what happened). Demo also installed an AGEIA PhysX panel into my Control Panel (without asking or informing me). Now, like most people, I do not have an Ageia Physix card (and will not be rushing out to buy one after this).

Uninstalled the demo but the Ageia Physix rubbish appears to be permanently stuck on my Control Panel! Not happy. I tried deleting everything to do with it on my system, I've even looked for any registry entries for Ageia or Physix. Still cannot get rid of this crap off my Control Panel.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers.
 
Thanks, I didn't think of that, but damn that was a while ago, I can't keep track of all the changes I've made since then. Guess it'll have to be that if I can't find an easier way.

Cheers.
 
do a search for *.cpl in your c drive (and make it search through system files too)

then delete the ageia one

Brilliant - that worked perfectly, thanks. Found three of the nasty little files in my System32 folder - they didn't have 'ageia' anywhere in their names, that's why I couldn't find them before.

That was wrecking my head - much appreciated.

no probs

make sure you don't delete the standard windows ones though :)

Which ones? There are three files:

PhysX.cpl
PhysX.cpl.manifest
PhysXLoader.dll

Presume they can all go? (as in they're already gone :) )
 
should be fine..

if its in the recycle bin, restore the dll file, then do this..

start, run , type the following..

regsvr32 /u C:\windows\system32\PhysXLoader.dll

will either say (unloaded succesfully / failed) whichever happens, delete it after



no biggie if you've lost it already, this just stops windows from ever trying to load it again

Yeah I still have the files but restarted without them with no problems. Will windows try to load it again?
