I am using Vista Home Premium on:
Athlon64 3000
MSI GeForce 7800GT
GA-K8NF-9 motherboard
2GB RAM

Every time I tried to install, the installer would BSOD near the end when it
tried to load my video drivers. The BSOD pointed to nvlddmkm.sys. I was
finally able to complete an install by letting this happen, then booting from
the disc and using the command prompt to delete nvlddmkm.sys. When the
installer tried to continue, it couldn't find the driver so it just went on
without it.

Any time I try to install video drivers, I get the same BSOD pointing to
nvlddmkm.sys. I have tried all kinds of drivers from the default one privided
with Vista, to nVidia's WHQL drivers, to nVidia's beta drivers. All give
exactly the same fault.

I have updated my BIOS, loaded default BIOS settings, and updated my nForce
motherboard drivers to no avail.

My system has never had any problems running Windows XP and it continues to
work fine when I boot it up since I installed Vista.

Does anyone know what's causing this and if there's a fix? I understand that
nVidia are having lots of driver problems but it seems that most people can
at least get in to Windows. I haven't been able to try out Aero yet!

Hello,
I discovered a way to resolve my problem. And I only registered to help
who still stuck on this.
I realize that it started after the nvidia service kicks in. So the
solution that worked for me:

Start in safe mode
go to command
type
sc delete nvsvc (don't remember if it was nvsvc or nvvsvc try both)
sc delete nvvsvc
sc delete nvlddmkm

retype to check if it is deleted

restart

update nvidia driver using windows udpate (if is your case) or/then
install newest drivers.

Hope it helps.

Hi guys. I just registered because my computer is dead because of this
problem.

I cannot enter the Safe Mode nor any other mode. I get a black screen
with mouse cursor.

I updated nVidia graphic driver to latest one, and this problem
happened a day after.

[image: http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5309/img0768y.jpg]

What can I do to solve this. I have Vista and W7 and cannot access
neither.

Latest update: I have managed to enter Command Prompt (cmd.exe) in XP
but don't know what to do from there.

I managed to do what Dwain said, but the problem persists.

I have XP on the same machine and I can strangely log onto it when I
use boot option from XP CD, and than select Earlier version of Windows
instead of W7. When XP loads, I can do what ever I want, like everything
is OK. There I managed to do Dwain's steps but it doesn't help.

The monitor shuts down or the blue screen appears and resets by itself.
I can hear that the system is up but the monitor is off.

I can reinstall W7 but the problem will occur if I install the drivers,
right. Help me!

Yes, I also have the vertical lines during boot! That's the first thing
I noticed. Too much of a coincidence to conclude the card is broken.

I managed to rename or delete the file(s) but the problem is still
there. The nVidia's .sys file is the same as the one in
windows/system32/drivers, so I don't see the point of re-copying it, as
Dwain suggested.

Thanks for posting that picture, that is exactly what I am getting! I
can not boot to safe mode at all...just getting blank screen. I'm also
from time to time seeing blue or purple vertical lines during the
process. Could it be my card is trashed? I hadn't updated the drivers
in awhile that I remember...tried system restore earlier in the day when
I was at least able to get to safe mode (not sure why I can't now)...sys
restore did not work. Any suggestions out there?

Thanks!
MD

Are you actually running the Nvidia 191.07 drivers for Win7?

Dwain's way didn't help me at all either..although it did get me back to
doing basic DOS commands that I hadn't done oh, in say about 20 years!
LOL No clue what to do next!

Would reinstalling W7 and updating with old drivers help?

You should get the latest drivers for your card from Nvidia not Microsoft or
from the card manufacturer since the card manufacturers often never update
the drivers after the original shipment of the cards themselves and therfore
MS does not update them for the card either.

Do you say that because you solved the problem with that solution or you
assume that diver updating is the ultimate solution for all hardware
problems?

If you read the post you could see that I have the latest drivers.
Windows couldn't download the drivers (?) so I did it manually. When I
entered the system accidentally once, I checked if the drivers are up to
date, and they are.

The problem is still there!

I am saying that since getting the latest released driver version from the
graphic chip vendors website has been the solution for many users using MS
provided graphic card drivers. A year or two ago a former MS employee
explained in a post why the MS graphic card drivers are often not even from
a recent release much less the latest release version. The date of the
drivers does not always correspond to the date that graphic card driver
released them. The release version number is what is important.
