All I can suggest is that you go to guru of 3D

Link: http://www.guru3d.com/

Then click on the downloads tab goto>>>Generic Utilities, and download Drive cleaner pro

Once you have it installed, b sure to have your nvidia driver handy be it downloaded or on cd rom.

Goto Control panel and delete your nvidia drivers, you will then have to reboot, after the reboot RUN drive cleaner pro this will get rid of any residual nvidia registry info once it has cleaned, you can then go ahead and re-install your nvidia drivers.
Also be sure to TURN OFF you anti virus whilst installing nvidia.

You will then have a nice clean install of your driver and hopefully the Nv4_disp.dll Infinite Loop, wil have been cured

Hey, I have an nVidia GeForce 6600GT running 81.95 drivers. Could I expect any benefit from updating to newer drivers, or are the newer drivers optimised for newer cards (in other words I wouldn't gain anything)?

I see the latest stable nVidia drivers are 84.21. Any good? I'm not keen on running any beta drivers.

HMMM, tried installing DirectX, never had any problems before, now it tells it has not passes certification and fails to load. What evere is causing this is more than likely causing the infinite loop

when trying to install directx:

the first box says: The software you are trying to install has not passed windows logo testing to verify its compatibility with windows xp. this software will not be installed contact your system administratior.
---- click ok--

then the second box
Directx did not copy a required file.


this copy of directx is the one on the sh3 disk. have installed several times.

all the old drivers ive been trying ome up as not passing the windows logo test even though they say they do in the readme.
