Microsoft Vista nvlddmkm NVIDIA driver error

I am still surprised that there are quite a few people still receiving the nvlddmkm error when using NVIDIA based video cards. What I'll try to do here is to see if I can help to solve this error. Are my methods going to fix this problem for all of you? Perhaps not but I hope that the actions below will help many of you:

1. Go into the control panel of your Vista PC and remove any NVIDIA drivers that are there.
2. Restart your PC and then download a driver removal program similar to this one:

3. After this has been run restart your PC again.
4. After rebooting your PC do a search for nvlddmkm and make sure you do a thorough search of your entire PC file system to include hidden and system files. Delete it if found.
5. Reload your PC and/or motherboard manufacturer's chipset drivers
6. Load the last NVIDIA WHQL driver posted on the NVIDIA website for your Microsoft Vista operating system.
****Added on October 13: If for any reason the above steps do not work and you have 2GB of ram try safely removing one stick of ram to see if the problem continues. Some people have reported that a faulty memory module may also cause this****

Microsoft Vista 64 bit

Ever since the beginning of the year I have been working quite successfully with the Microsoft Vista 32 bit operating system. I needed to test a program written specifically for Microsoft Vista 64 bit so I took the plunge, bought a copy this weekend, and installed it. Having worked with XP Professional 64 bit, which left me with a rather bad feeling, this newest version of Microsoft's attempt at a 64 bit operating system caught my interest. The stability is wonderful, most everything I've tried actually seems to have software and/or driver support and perhaps more importantly it allows me to take full advantage of 4GB of DDR2 memory I've had installed for many weeks. The 32 bit version of Vista has a 2GB barrier so you can't use any amount of internal memory above hat amount. This 64 bit flavor of an operating system has my full support and I personally congratulate Microsoft on the work that has gone into the stability of this system.
