Hello usmahn, and welcome to Seven Forums.

From your dump file, it shows this below. It looks like you may need to update your NVIDIA graphics driver to the latest version. If you already did, then try completely uninstalling and reinstalling it, or rolling back to an older driver version that did work properly for you.

Probably caused by : nvlddmkm.sys

Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7

Hope this helps,

how do i know which video driver to install?

It's nvidia, go to the following link and let it autodetect - NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Automatically Detect NVIDIA Products

it has a setup error.
setup detetced the opearting system in use is not windows. wheras i am using windows vista in safe mode?

Product series - > GeForce 7 series
Operating System -> Vista 32bit

For your NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE in a 32-bit Windows 7 or Vista

For 301.42 WHQL version: NVIDIA DRIVERS 301.42WHQL

OR

For 304.79 BETA version:NVIDIA DRIVERS 304.79BETA

it keeps saying nvidia installer failed??

Try uninstalling the current drivers, then installing the newest ones.

If you're still in safe mode you will need to boot in normal mode.
