when i try to delete evoodoo.cpl from my windows system dir windows complains that the file is in use.. obviously i don't have the control panel or evoodoo config open... can anyone suggest a way to remove it (cleanly)?

Go to ms-dos (with a boot-disk if you have windows ME or newer), and type the following (press return after every command):

cd windows\system32
del evoodoo.cpl

And restart your computer, and everything is fixed!

no i have win2k sp4 running ntfs, anyway i wanted to know a "right" way to do it, why is that file being used.

I think it might be my defrag tool cos i found two references to the file from that section in the registry. when i next reboot i'll try again.

Open %windir%\control.ini and add:

[don't load]
evoodoo.cpl=no

Reboot and remove.

do a search in the windows/system32 folder and then delete it!
