Nvspcap.dll is a component of NVIDIA ShadowPlay, typically installed alongside NVIDIA graphics cards and related software. If you receive an error message stating “nvspcap.dll is not specified to run on Windows,” it may be due to the file being missing or corrupted in the system.

Here are some ways to solve this problem:

  1. Reinstalling NVIDIA drivers: Download and install the latest graphics card drivers from the official NVIDIA website. The installation program will automatically repair or replace any missing or damaged files.
  2. Run System File Checker (SFC): Search for “Command Prompt” in the start menu, right click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator.” In the Command Prompt window, type “sfc /scannow” and press Enter. The System File Checker will scan and repair system file errors.
  3. Update your Windows operating system: make sure your Windows operating system is up to date. Open Windows Update, download and install all available updates.
  4. Manually replace the nvspcap.dll file: If the above method doesn’t work, you can try copying the nvspcap.dll file from another computer that is functioning properly and paste it into the corresponding location on your computer. Make sure the version of the copied file is compatible with your operating system and graphics card driver.

Please seek help from a professional if you are unfamiliar with computer operations or unsure how to perform the above actions to avoid further issues.
