THEre was a blue screen saing that an error code nv4_disp had occurred and to re-boot, which I did, then all was ok. Any ideas? :unsure:

I've just done a quick Google (I'll clean it up latter :blush:) and it seems it's a very common error :( (I've said it before and I'll say it again, Nvidia are rubbish at making drivers!). The first thing to do is to find out what graphics card you have, Control Panel in classic mode then Display should tell us that. Then I think I'd uninstall the graphics card from Device Manager, restart and let Windows try and sort it out. If that doesn't work I'd go to Nvidia's driver download page, download the right driver and install it. If that didn't work I'd go to a computer shop, buy an ATI graphics card, pu it in instead of the Nvidia one and finally take a hammer to the Nvidia one :devil: :lol: Did you do a Disc Check? EDIT: Link to Nvidia's driver page, http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us :blush: :rolleyes: :blush:

YAP'PER EXTRAORDINAIRE Posts: 45,414 Group: Members Member #24 Joined: June 19, 2006	I've run the disc scan now, David. What's the next step? It only took about 20 minutes. :D
