XP Pro 32 and NVidia VGA read memory error messages

Greeting All,
My issue started upon downloading a Nvidia driver update that came over the
MS hardware update with regular updates. Although it was darn difficult to
figure out and even more difficult to understand the how, what's and why's.
(I still dont) Non the less, due to my NVidia VGA card updated driver XP Pro
32 bit began populateing the following:

rundll32.exe in the header line
The instruction at "0x7c9100c8"
referenced memory at "0x00ff0010"
The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program

I'm not talking about a few times. It is a constant annoyance from the time
I start up, when my internet adapter cant start until I push OK at least 3
times, close the error box at least 3 times and or close the app/process in
task manager, yes 3 times. At Least. It pops up every time I open a program,
close one, shut down, you name it, it's driving me GAGA.
I attempted my usual line of troble shoot fully all the way to removing my
nvidea software from my computer. (Thats how I am sure it it a VGA/NVida/MS
update issue) The only way I can loose this message is to eliminate the
NVidea and use the onboard generic display. I tried all the reload of
drivers to include reloading just the old original from the MSI disc. No Go.

I was thinking that I'm not removing the original program completely but
before my most recent driver redownload I made sure with the Add & Remove
programs tool in the control panal, the windows installer removal tool and
even went through progran files.

NVidia tells me, via search, that it is a microsoft XP issue.
A computer guru I am not, by any means. But nor am I a beginner. Heck, I
know and do more than anyone I know. They come to me for support issues.

Is there anyone that recognizes this issue or can tell me what I missed.
I'm going to loose it.

Control Panel>System>Hardware Devices
Video card; roll back the driver
Do NOT use winupdate for drivers

Tried that last week when all this started. The system restore did not help
either.

i WRITE THIS TO DESCRIBE BRIEFLY WHAT I DID TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM I HAD
WITH HOPE OF SAVEING ANOTHER GADGET HEAD THE HEART ACHE I HAD FOR TWO WEEKS.
PERHAPS IT WAS MOSTLY LUCK BUT NVIDIA, YESTERDAY, MADE AVAILABLE A SYSTEMS
MONITOR / SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE / SYSTEMS UPDATE DOWNLOAD. YESTERDAY, HOW
LUCKY IS THAT? i DOWNLOADED THE CONTROL PANEL FROM NVIDIA.COM, BRIEFLY
CHECKED IT OUT, THEN ASKED IT TO CHECK FOR UPDATES. IT DID, I DOWNLOADED THE
LATEST (WHICH I TRIED ON MY OWN 4 TIMES) DRIVER AND UPDATES AND WALAA. IT
APPEARS ALL IS WELL.
I AM ABOUT TO SAVE A RESTORE POINT WITH HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO GO THRU THAT
MESS AGAIN.
THANK YOU DL
HOPE THIS HELP !!!
