[dba-Tech] NV4_disp.dll Problem fixed at last

For some time I have had the weirdest behavior on my notebook computer (Tosh
Ecra 3 with 2GB Ram): it worked fine for months, and then some update or
other that I did broke the video display. Symptoms: after about 3-5 minutes
of operation, the screen would start blinking and then all sorts of drop-out
would occur, rendering the computer unusable. Symptom 2: sometimes upon
bootup I would get a BSOD and an explanation that the video dll had entered
an infinite loop.

I searched and searched and searched for ideas, suggestions, suitable
prayers, etc. and found nothing. So I stopped using said notebook.

Due to the gig I begin tomorrow morning, I had to resurrect said notebook.
First thing I did was google nv4_disp and I got lucky. The topmost hit
proclaimed "nv4_disp problem fixed at last!" So I promptly downloaded the
alleged fix and copied it to a memory stick and booted the notebook up as
usual and then installed the alleged fix from the memory stick.... Lo and
behold, the bloddy thing works as expected!

My Google efforts suggest that this problem is not specific to Tosh boxes,
but in fact relates to NVidia graphics cards. Anyway, the fix worked for me,
and I am much relieved. This posting is directed to anyone who may
experience this problem, and this URL gets you to the files to download that
provide the fix:

As I gathered from the Google returns on my search, this is not specific to
Tosh boxes but rather to the NVidea stuff. So I post this in the spirit of
collective solutions.
