What is "nv4.disp" and why is it causing a problem for me?
« on: October 28, 2006, 09:58:49 PM »
Hi I have a problem with the game freezing on me. What happens is I will start playing and about five minutes into the game it will freeze and most of the time I get a blue screen telling me that the driver got stuck in a loop and the source of the problem is a file called nv4.disp. Also it only happens with this game. I believe the source of the problem is the fact I have an omega driver installed for my gfx card because it only started doing this when I installed it. And it only happens on this game. My graphics card happens to be a nvidia geforce fx go5200 32mb. I was wondering if anyone had a solution since I like to use the driver to speed up certain games and I don't want to uninstall it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The driver is the problem. Get a newer one, or roll yours back. That's all you can do, really.

I've never seen a need for the omega drivers with nvidia.  nvidia drivers are pretty good out of the box.  Try uninstalling the omega drivers and installing the latest nvidia drivers from nvidia.com.

Yeah the nvidia divers are good and stable but my inspiron 5150.. ain't exactly high end, so I use the omega performance drivers to boost certain games. It helps significantly. It seems I found an alright fix. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=4432  . Now I can get through a game with it only pausing for a few seconds once or twice without the blue screen. Kind of annoying but allows me to play paintball and games like wolfenstien: enemy territory smoothly. Thanks for the replys.
