Disable nView as you normally would, then run msconfig and untick the "nwiz"
startup item.
Strange how it asks for DX7. After installing Half-Life 2 with version
77.77 of nVidia's drivers I got messages telling me I needed DX7 or higher
to run the game, and it wasn't until I imported an HL2 profile (using
nHancer) created under a previous driver release into the NVIDIA Settings'
Application Profiles under "Performance & Quality Settings" that the problem
disappeared.
