Cannot play any games that require Direct3D acceleration because I am unable to activate it. Diagnostics say that I have an uncertified nv4_disp.dll driver but I cannot find a certified one. Have downloaded latest drivers for my NVidia GeForce2 MX and the latest directX. I use Windows 2000 professional and I am desperately looking for a solution.

try downloading the newest via-drivers

Im running windows xp pro and using nvidia 23.11 drivers for my asus geforce v8200 pure 64 meg card on an intel board and pentium 1.7.

It says gives blue lopp screen and reboots and when I come back it says when it sends report that the file couldnt render some art. ANyone know how I can fix this and what does this file do?

I've got the same nv4_disp.dll BSOD with the nvidia 23.11 drivers in Win2k.

I'm only using a Winfast TNT2 64.

On a year old installation it suddenly started in christmas 2000

We all have the same problem, so stop posting the same ones over and over

I have the same problem, But if i start the game inn 640*480 and after having played it a while change to 1024*768 it works

Does there seem to be a common link here? Namely the Nvidia 23.11 driver. Has anyone had any joy using an earlier driver?

Unfortunatly do not use Nvidia drivers 23.11. They cause more problems than they solve. Download the older versions and see what happens

OK guys we all have the same problem and ive basicaly tried everything.

I found like to days ago that there are some beta drivers out.. search in google like
"tnt 27" try to find a driver download for something like 27.83 i found it on a french site.. my friend said he found it and it worked for him. So i guess its a good idea. Plus the problem is with the openGL when windows 2k originaly came out microsoft recognized this problem, but i dont think they made any etemp to fix it.

Dats all for now.. Feel free to email me at

Pantherz@rogers.com

This is a known issue.

Lots of people used 21.83 which worked for them fine including myself. I am too one of the victims of using 23.11 and up getting errors.

http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=64 <- forgot to mention my source.

I am running XP Pro and using the ASUStek A7700 AGP witht he NVidia Geforce 2 GTS.

Upon initial installation, I downloaded the lasted drivers available (Detonater)

I have had no problems running games like: Return to Castle Wolfenstien and Deus Ex.

I hate to even post this, but if the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com are not resolving the issue. You may want to look into possible hardware problems with the AGP card or (as mentioned earlier) chipset incompatabilities on the motherboard.

Um any one check the address of the error. nv4-disp.dll if any one can see the corelation. all high graphicgames are getting error when online right??? the bin hex code refers to a dll that a game uses to hit online. like ghost recon everquest etc. its not nesecarily a video issue may be modem chief

Has anyone found a cure for this plague we are all infected upon?? If so please post it somewhere!

Microsoft has released the 2.3.1.2 I'm not sure if this is the cure. I have also experience the same problem on my AMD system using a Cardex Geforce2 MX 400 64mb video card.

The 2.3.1.2 drivers don't fix this issue.

I've read that this error message occurs when you install the NVidia drivers overtop of the Windows drivers= http://cedric.net/windowsxp/

You need to uninstall the old drivers and reboot and install the new drivers (preferably 21.83 *WQHL drivers from Nvidia's driver archive= http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=pg_20010907751234 )

nv4_disp.dll FIX - for windows-XP
~~~~~~~~~
1.) Download: DirectX Version - 8.1 for Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition

(Me) operating system. DX81eng.exe - 12,145 Kb

You can download file at:
http://www.microsoft.com/directx/homeuser/downloads/default.asp

2.) Do a search in Registry Editor for Directx:
Go to c:\windows\system32\regedt32.exe (open this)

3.) Click, edit/find, type in directx (have all 3 boxes checked, under LOOK AT ) click

"find next", F3 to continue search
Delete only what comes up highlighted! There's a-lot of them.

4.) Go to C:\Windows\System32 Delete, DirectX and sub folder Dinput.

5.) Reboot

6.) Go to that file you downloaded DX81eng.exe - 12,145 Kb, right click, then choose

properties. Click heading "Compatibility". Check box under "Compatibility Mode" +{arrow

down for Windows 98 / Windows ME). Click apply.

7.) Now run program DX81eng.exe

Your video lock-up problems should be fixed.

Sorry, but removing all of the directx stuff didn't work. Anyone else wanna take a stab at it?

HI
I tried a new driver for my nvidia+xp system
2710
this time the system hangs without even the blue screen (so they solve the problem of the blue
screen ) ;)

I think i will go for ATI

I'm running XP Pro with a geforce 3 ti 200, AMD 1600 XP.

Just like you guys, When I attempt to run half -life or anything requiring accelerated graphics, my monitor turns off and the system restarts. what the hell could this be...

Welp, I've tried:

VIA 4 in 1 drivers -- no luck.

23.11 nvidia drivers -- deffinetly no luck.

21.83 nvidia drivers -- no luck.

nforceWinXP UDPv1.1 (what the heck) -- noluck

AMDdrv pack 130 -- no frikkin luck.

a $200 video card, and alls we can do it seems is wait. But my question is will there ever be a fix or is it forever incompatable?

slopps

Add this to my above list:

Flash BIOS to new version -- NO GOD DAMN LUCK!!!

Try these drivers. 27.50.
I thought these would crash as I jumped from 21.83 but the did not.

http://www.visiontek.com/detonator4.shtml

I GOT IT WORKING!!! HOT DAMN!!! If you have windows XP, heres what you do, no big deal at all...

goto:
http://drivers.3dnews.ru/catalog.phtml?ca_id=137&cp_level=2
and get the 27.42 drivers

THEY f---IN WORK!!! hell yea!!!
thank me later...haha

Hello there!

Since I have a nVidia GF2MX400 text-based Programs like QuickBasic seem to crash after 5mins (only the output crashes. I cand press [ALT+F] [S] to save blindly and works). Since I have DX8.1 these programs crash when try to start them and the same bluescreen error mentioning nv4_disp.dll occours. Did anyone of you have the same problems (i mean with text-mode-based programs)

thanks

FF

Don't have a Geforce but Nvidia Riva TNT 2 M64 but still am a victim of 23.11.

For WinXP people who get the crash and then get the serious error stuff. Download this Windows XP patch which fixes the serious error recovery error on every reboot.

I noticed that after putting this patch on. I decided to reload 23.12 drivers(from 21.83) and then the computer decides not to give me nvidia crash anymore. All cured! This patch was released today from MS. Try it out and see if it works for you.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=36920&area=search&ordinal=2

I mean I gotten the patch today. Not the patch was released today since it was released March 6.

Hello all you problem havers/solvers/hopefuls

I'm a problemhaver -

look this is really annoying this is the scene:
Had AVP2 running fine on my win2k and Me OS, then I had to resort the harddrives and thus had to reinstall win 2k -- alls well except that AVP2 gives very distorted graphics (big blocks of s*&$) this is during gameplay.
Yes its the nv4_disp culprit. But why the hell did it run nicely b4??????????

Any way I've tried to simulate the last setup when it was running properly. this involved taking out the new geforce3 and replacing the old v550 (diamond) and to my surprise that did not detect the 3D whatits and AVP2 did not run at all. Despite this I carried on and installed the geforce3 again and still no hope!?

This is getting annoying. tried the above but the latest MS patch does not run on win2k.

So finally I had to yellout to u guys.
sys spec:
P2, gainward ti200 gef3, dxr3 (thought it may have been this, but I disabled it with no different result), directX latest from all sorts of sources), And that nv4_disp.dll driver is signed according to gainward but not according to win2k!!!!!

guess this is the same probelm that you lot are getting...
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Jar

(GEFORCE2 GTS)

The 27.42 and 27.50 drivers have kept WinXP from crashing, thank god. Unfortunately not a single 3D application will run. Anything that uses 3D will simply exit, and oddly, Snood (2D) makes my XP completely freeze.

Try 27.52 drivers!! They don't crash. Just got them today

Thanks for the great tips everyone. I found the 27.52 drivers below. Hopefully this will solve my problem as well.

http://www.maxreboot.com/newspro/viewnews.cgi?newsid1015884824,9447,

Just to let you all Know Its NOT a via chipset or nvidia card issue its a out of range memory loop caused by DIRECT X 8.1

there is a TEST SERVICE DRIVER fom viaarena.com its a beta driver but it shuts off the memory thats out of range that causes the error

Anyone have a fix for Win2K Server?

I'm still getting the following:

The file nv4_disp.dll is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs. You may be able to get a signed driver from the manufacturer of the hardware device.

And when running the diagnostics, I get:

Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)

This How fix this dumb bug. go to control panel go to uninstall WindowsXP or Windows2000 if having same problem. Than Take Old win98 and install it and throw windowsxp against the wall and yell microsoft winxp sucks. Than all troubles behind ya.

I found the simple but temporary fix for that..should work on most computers with driver 21.83 or simillar until Nvidia will come up with the fixed drivers.

right click on desktop
than settings
than advanced
than troubleshoot
than switch hardware acc to none
and uncheck "enable write combining"

that's it, merry xmas :)

tested on:
dual xeon 2X 1.7Ghz
Iwill DX400sn
intel 860 chipset
visiontek Ti500

I cant find an updated driver for my nvidia riva tnt2 pro video board on the internet

Im using XP with TNT ultra2 and DX8.1

EVERY SINGLE HIGH-END D3D APP GIVES THE BSOD AND THE INFINITE LOOP CRAP!!!!

Nvidia gives NO support for its drivers and MicroSofts website doesnt even acknowledge the fault.

Where can a fix be found?

Try the 28.32 drivers (modified) to see if that works. It worked for me.
