Solve : Computer instablility; blinking monitor, freezing computer [nvlddmkm problem!]?

Answer»

Not really...but it does tell us that something in your XP install was wonked.Ok, I was wrong.  This problem's still going on, even with Vista.  However... Vista has this alert thing that alerts you if something goes wrong. 

So while playing MapleStory, the computer froze for about 20 seconds then it unfroze.  A few MINUTES later, I MINIMIZE the game and I see this thing:



So, how do I fix this buggy driver?

(P.S. - It didn't freeze just today, it froze again the day I posted on this thread again saying it wasn't freezing anymore.I can see, you have on-board video with up to 128MB of integrated RAM.
What do those games say about amount of RAM needed to play them?Here's a copy&pasted list of minimum required SPECS to play MapleStory, along with recommended specs:

[Minimum Requirements]
CPU: Celeron 500MHz
RAM: 64MB
HDD: 300MB Disk Space
OS: MS Windows 98/ME/2K/XP
VGA: 3D Acceleration Card
SOUND: None
NETWORK: 56kbps Modem

[Recommended Settings]
CPU: P3-700MHz or higher
RAM: 128MB RAM
HDD: 500MB Disk Space
OS: MS Windows 98/ME/2K/XP
VGA: 3D Acceleration Card
SOUND: 16bit Sound Card
NETWORK: Cable Modem Reading your video card specs, I can't see anything about "3D Acceleration". Would that be a reason for lags?Well, dxdiag says I do have 3D Accel.  It says it's enabled, along with DirectDraw Acceleration and AGP Texture Acceleration.  Also, I searched "nvlddmkm" on Google, and the results that popped up were pretty surprising.  Alot of people using the GeForce 6600 video card are having the same problems as I am.  A few people are able to fix it, but their solutions don't seem to work for others, only themselves.  And on top of that, each person's solution is different than the other's.  Here's one of the threads:  http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=38941Yeah, there has been a problem going on between Vista, and nVidia video, but I have no idea what else to advice you.I was thinking the same.  From what I've seen from other people having the same problem as I have,  I think I'm better off just buying a new video card.  Well, thanks for all the help Broni.

Probably the best option.
