I tried Sampson's suggestion and it worked once. After I turned off computer and turned it on next day, same problem - blue screen w/nv4_disp infinite loop message. Checked Sampson's settings and they were as set as recommended. This is what I've done so far: -Installed updated driver for nvidia GEForce FX 5200 card. System worked for about 7 hours, then blue screen, etc. -Make changes to Display recommended in Sampson's post 12/28/05. System worked until I turned it off and then turned it on next day. Incidentally, when I turned system off last night, it did the shutdown process until it got to the place where just the wallpaper was on the screen. I did a Ctrl Alt Del (task manager which came up) and then system shut down. I did not click End Now. I have a Dell Desktop 4600 series running Windows XP home. All updates installed. Suggestions on what I can do next are appreciated.

Sampson- Thanks! This worked. How will the changes I made (described in your post) affect my computer?

I copied the url noted in your message. I cannot locate file named "91.33_forceware_winxp2k_english.rar" on the nvidia site (which is the site the url directed me to). Please hel. Thanks
