Default nv4_disp.dll problems and DirectX problems

I think I am losing what little sanity that I have left. I am having a couple
of problems and they seem to be linked. Let's see if I can explain this so
that it makes sense. I downloaded directx 9.oc last week don't know where it
went because when I try to run "dxdiag" it says that I have vers 8.1 then
everything crashes and all that I can do is push the reset button. Then when
everything comes back I get an error message about the nv4_disp.dll here is
what the log files says about this error:

Server=watson.microsoft.com
UI LCID=1033
Flags=622898
Brand=WINDOWS
TitleName=Microsoft Windows
DigPidRegPath=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId
ErrorText=The driver for the display device was unable to complete a drawing
operation. Please check with the device manufacturer for a driver update.
HeaderText=Computer restarted after an unexpected shutdown. Microsoft
Windows detected a possible device failure.
Plea=The display driver for NVIDIA Vanta/Vanta LT (Microsoft Corporation)
seems to be responsible for the system instability.

ErrorSubPath=\Drivers.Display\10DE002C1500000000\n v4_disp.dll\6.13.10.2958\EA8706EA

I understand that this is telling me that something is wrong with the Nvidia
driver, but it doesn't explain what is going on with DirectX.

Just a WAG, but reset your monitor refresh rate to
something a couple of steps BELOW what you have now. I
was at 85 Hz and had all kinds of wrrors on two cards I
know to be good. So far, when set to 72 Hz, I have no
problems with either.

Of course, not everybody can us a lower refresh rate
effectively, but this might help diagnose your problem.

A standard refresh rate is 65Hz (which is what Safe Mode uses) so I don't
know anyone who cannot use it. Of course they may not like the horrible
'flickering' but the solution in that case is to get a better CRT.
