I have an NVidia 8500 GT. I've been experiencing this error ever since I unplugged the S-video cable. I have tried reformatting and reinstalling Windows, but I still get this error.
At first, when I had Windows 7 still installed on my PC, I could run in Safe Mode and try deleting the nvlddmkm.sys
from system32/drivers
directory, then expand the nvlddmkm.sy_
.
I have tried reformatting once again and Windows setup didn't complete successfully, because this error showed up again.

It sounds like this is a common problem... I guess you already saw this page? http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/689444.htm
It advises the fix you already used... I think the problem is, you are using the microsoft driver for your card, but it really should use the nvidia driver. The steps listed in that link are:
So first download the newest nvidia driver, save it somewhere, try to get into safe mode and install it.
