    Is it the nvdisp.dll error? Has anyone found a solution to that?

    BTW, I've been dying to play DiRT. The Colin McRae series of racing games are by far the best racing games I've ever played. You get a true sense of gravity and having a co-pilot is really cool.

    I saw your post while Googling for info on Laptops and registered to answer your query - I had the exact same error on a Win 98 Desktop 4 years ago - it was caused by a faulty ram module.

    I took all my ram sticks out and put them in individually - and it would not post with only the errant one in place.
