Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
Hi,
I get this error randomly when using Vista Ultimate 64 bit, I get blank screen for 5 seconds then It comes back to normal with a popup balloon says that the display driver had an error and windows has recovered, I'm using Nvidia 97.46 on a Geforce 7950 GX2 XXX Edition. Using all windows updates, Anyone has such thing? any ways to recover? I tried disabling windows defender as I read on some forums , didn't work, I also knew that using Windows classic theme (which is rubbish) would help solve a bit of the problem, but heck I bought vista for its good looking GUI, so i'm not changing my theme. Here are my PC specs: Gigabyte M59SLI-S5 512x4 DDR2 RAM 160 GB Hitachi Deskstar 160 GB Seagate 120 GB Maxtor AMD Athlon 64 4200+ X2 Nvidia Geforce 7950 GX2 XXX Any comments please? |

I'm getting the same kind of errors with my 32-birt Vista installation. My
hardware is quite different, though: Intel i945 motherboard Intel Pentium D 3GHz processor XFX GeForce 7600 GS etc Really seems to be an issue with the buggy 97.46 nVidia driver which is actually WHQLed?! Hope a new non beta will be out soon. |

This is a fix post. I was not able to try the Microsoft “fix” because it required a valid Windows verification and I was only able to bring the machine up in safe mode where it is not possible to start the license server (license server is required for authentic Windows validation) – those geniuses at Microsoft made it impossible to try their fix if the problem was preventing the machine from booting all the way up (i.e. that is, all the way up on the video side). I was able to keep the Vista installation by renaming the driver from nvlddmkm.sys to nvlddmkm.sys.old in safe mode, and then rebooting into normal mode (go to \Windows\system32\drivers to do the rename). After rebooting I changed my screen resolution to 1280×1024 successfully and then rebooted the machine again to see if would hold the video mode and reboot properly, and it did (note that I was not able to do a normal boot prior to this change, on our 17? Gateway laptop). So I don’t have all of the support that you get from the nvlddmkm.sys driver, but atleast I can use the machine at a nice screen resolution without having to install another OS. -- djmcfar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ djmcfar's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/160681.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/686036.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

When you change the screen resolution while running in safe mode it changes
the normal mode resolution not the safe mode resolution, so that the next time you boot in normal mode you have the new changed resolution. Did you try changing the resolution while in Safe Mode?
