Solution 6: Use windows default drivers for the video card.
This is a personal fix for me, so far I have received way less nvlddmkm messages. Basically goto your “Programs and Features” and uninstall the nvidia driver. Then on next reboot, Windows should automatically install the windows default nvidia drivers for your card.

Well that may work but it is not really a solution… If I reinstall my Vista SP1 I can not even use the Aero theme and have 1,0 as Windows PC rating, because Vista does not recognize my GTX260 graphic card correctly.
So this won’t really do if you want to play highend ego shooters like Crysis, FarCry2 or Call of Duty 4/5…

This article talks to the problem with some suggested solutions and pointers to relevant registry entries…
I have not tried any of them yet but I thought this may be useful.
