I seen what you're talking about from looking through your previous posts. Reading the other thread, I actually assumed you were talking about a movie. It's a game?

sorry i will start again, i have a game that crashes at a certain point,the problem is to do with nvidia drivers(the game blue screens and the error message mentions the driver),i seen the same thing on a windows newsgroup related to a few games and the microsoft link said to update
graphics drivers but my drivers are up to date,i just thought someone may have had the same problem and sorted it,my previous post named the file(bad,bad,bad) any ideas.firecracker

first of all did you get a patch for the game?
maybe u need to get a patch surrounding this issue?
next thing have a list of all the specifications for your computer as well that way people can know a little more whats going wrong.
sometimes your video driver files can be corrupted. maybe u need to reinstall them. As matter of fact you should name the video card you have and also check the website the game is from to see if there is a patch.
after that try to more or less come back here with some more information because although u said some information its lacking in details.
peace

another thing is the cd scratched up or something?
maybe you should also copy your game to your harddrive and use daemon tools or another emulator to make the game work.
it can be a number of factors your cd drive might not be fast enough to play the game.
you can be lacking memory and that can cause you this bsod.
kind of put some details together on when did this happen etc.
sometimes if you download games off the net the files can be corrupted u know or not all of the data in the game is present.
that happen to me one time when i downloaded a demo from a website.
think about what you are running. do you have any tsr programs running in the backround?
*tsr* termininated resident programs like antivirus programs, or do u have many other programs running as well because this could be the reason for you error as well.
answer some of these questions and try to figure it out and post back.

If I may interject, are you using the new forceware 52.16's with a GF4 card? I hear that there are many bugs with this combo.
I would recommend going to the game publisher's website, they usually have forums or support of some sort.

go here and read more about it then decide if you want to download this.
this is for all versions of nvidia video cards. so make the decision before installing it.
