Help needed with GFX Card technical issue
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
The problem i have is with Direct X.
Both Direct Draw and Direct 3D do not work properly under DXdiag.
Here is what i have done to try and rectify the problem so far:
1.Reformatted the Hard Drive.
2.Installed Windows XP - installs DX 8.1 itself.
3.Installed the latest Detonator drivers.
4.Everything works fine except Direct X applications.
I found an error report that basically said:
Driver file "nv4_disp.dll" was stuck in a continous loop.
This is a main driver file.
Here is the technical report:

This was happening BEFORE i formatted and re-installed Windows.
Tried re-installing both Nvidia drivers and the ASUS ones - problem still occurs.
Having reformatted with a fresh Windows XP Pro install and fresh drivers...
Problem with the card itself?
ASUS GF 4 TI 4600
Any help or info would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!

More about : needed gfx card technical issue
My card is a GF 4 TI 4600. (made by ASUS , the ASUS name is "V8460 Ultra")
I was previously on Direct X 9.0a and all was fine , then i got this problem out of the blue.
Couldnt solve it so reformatted and tried various Nvidia and ASUS drivers.
Weird that a driver file should get stuck in a continous loop after a fresh install of Windows XP and fresh drivers.

in this order...
install OS (nothing else, no updates or anything)
install mobo drivers (AGP driver a must)
install latest Nvidia driver package
install Dx 9.0a
then try dxdiag tests...
if this fails then U have a system problem
Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat... (Click me name to see me spec)

If you have a motherboard with a via chipset which i assume you do, there are three possible fixes. option 1 is the best one but is not always an option
1. Get a new motherboard with a different chipset
2. Install Windows 98 SE, which doesnt use VIAs drivers
3. In your device manager, find the Via AGP to CPU driver in the system devices tree. Update the driver to PCI to CPU driver. This will stop the loop, but will cause a performance hit ranging from 5%-20% depending on your configuration. This is because it disables AGP texturing acceleration and reduces bandwidth.
The issue is caused by Driver problems with VIA and VIA is incabable of fixing. Good Luck it took me over a year to fix my own problems so i hop this helps you
