This file is part of the driver set for an nVidia graphics card. Have
you made any recent changes to your computer system, or updated any
drivers recently? This information will help in providing an answer or
point you in the right direction to a solution. Please list any recent
activity that you recall, related to your graphics card, and I will
see what I can do to help you.

Actually that is very interesting.  I went on a trip and when I got
back my display was all messed up and I was getting this dll messege. 
I updated the driver and rebooted and now the display is functioning
notmally, but i still get the erroe messege.

How do I get rid of it?

Can you please clarify whether you first uninstalled the video driver,
then installed the updated one, or did you simply apply the new one as
an update to the old one? If the latter, then often for video drivers
in particular, you need to actually uninstall the "old" driver
completely, install a basic VGA display driver (which your graphics
card will still support), start up in safe mode to hunt down and
delete any left-over files from the old driver, then install the new
driver.

Please let me know which of the two techniques you tried, along with
your specific make and model of your graphics card so that I can
provide a more cì
üete Answer.

Thanks!

Actually, I came across several similar questions from computer users
on other computer-focused Q&A forums on the Internet. All of them
recommend downloading and installing the latest Windows XP video
drivers for your nVidia graphics card. It's a simple thing to try, so
please try that and see if it solves your problem. If you have any
difficulty finding a driver that works for your card, please post the
specific make and model of your graphics card as a clarification to
your question, and I will be glad to find the correct driver for you
as an Answer.
