A month before, I got a blue screen error involving my nv4_disp.dll every time I play games. That problem was solved after updating my video card driver.

But after that, both Call of Duty 4 and GTA:SA stopped working. CoD 4 will display a splash screen and that's it, nothing else. GTA:SA on the other hand, will display a "has encountered a problem and needs to close" error.

GTA:SA was the ONLY game that didn't get the nv4_disp.dll crash. After the update, everything else worked perfectly except these for these 2 games.

I have a built-in NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

If you expect to be able to play games, get a real video card, not integrated graphics.

The driver update did solve the CoD 4 problem. As for the GTA problem, nevermind. The game is quite old anyway.

i play gta sa on a ati 200m, which is even worse then your nvidia 6xxx.

unintsall previous drivers - and install omega drivers - ive found them much better on older systems.
