I am having a problem with my computer. When i start it up in normal mode I either get a blue screen that says nV4_disp is stuckin an infinate loop. Also when it is started in normal mode the screen stutters. I am currently running Window Xp profesinal, am on a dell 8300, and using safe mode. Please help me!!

have you tried to boot in safe mode ?
press F8 right before the XP loading screen pops up
choose "safe mode" then choose uninstall nvidia drivers from add/remove programs

after a restart use

to clean any remains of the driver

then download and install the lastest nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! this problem has been going on for months thank you

no problem

acutally i deleted it and ran the sweeper but when i download the new one and restart i get back to the blue screen

are you 100% sure you got an nvidia card ... when I do search for dell 8300 I get ones with ATI cards

well after i reboot after deletin nivdia it says "found new hardware NIVIDIA GeForce Fx5200"

hmmmm there are only 2 possibilities now ....

1. the card is defect
2. windows is damaged to a point you can't simply repair it
(under the assumption, that you did not change any hardware / modified the BIOS)

can you test you graphics card in another PC ?!

well i just found out that when i reeboot NIVDIA just keeps coming back up!!! this could be my reason. is there anyway to stop this?

could you describe this a little better

Here is the step by step
1) I delete NVIDIA software through add/remove programs
2) I reboot the computer
3) I go back int Add/Remove programs and NIVIDIA software is back

now that is strange .... does your user account have admin rights ?
start-->setting-->control panel-->user accounts

did the PC come with windows preinstalled?
and is it still that preinstalled windows ?

if so it is possible, that dell integrated a nvidia driver into the operating system

well i the computer did come with pre instaled windows so that could be the problem. how can i fix that?

find a geek and reinstall windows with him
thats really the only tip I can give you

Hi, I am new here but I maybe able to help. Using the Add/Remove Programs from the Windows Control Panel doesn't really remove all bits and pieces of the NVidia driver. You have to use a driver cleaner similar to this; http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745. Since you have already removed it using the Add/Remove Programs, boot to safe mode then use the DC Pro. Clean only the NVidia drivers. Then re-install the driver for your video card.
