Nvidia driver in continuous loop

Question

When MS sent out those massive updates about a month ago, the computer said one of the updates caused the driver nv4_disp.ldll    to go into a  continuous loop.
When turning on the computer after it started to load, the screen would go white.  The only way to stop that was to pull power cord.  On/off switch would not do it.
I have (I think) uninstalled the driver and attempted to reinstall the driver.  The computer will only run in Safe Mode.
After that I got a message that the BIOS might be out of date.  Using all the posts I could find and printing the info off the Toshiba websites, I have been unable to update my BIOS because I can not get the BIOS update screen to come up. I have tried F2 and ESC F1, and just for good measure, I've tried all the other F's.

Complete instructions for buring the bios update files to a self booting CD are included in the archive file/  You have to decompress the file first prior to burning it otherwise it won't work.  Once you download the file you need to double click on it, uncheck the "When done unzipping open Launcher.exe" box so that it doesn't try to flash from windows.  Make a note of the location it unzips the files to.  Now follow these instructions to the letter to create a self booting BIOS flash CD.
4) BOOT CD-ROM INSTALLATION METHOD
If your Toshiba PC is equipped with a bootable CD-ROM device (CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, DVD-Multi, etc.), and you have access to a CD writer
(burner, either installed in your Toshiba PC or in another PC), you can
create a bootable BIOS installation CD-ROM using the ISO CD image,
2610v19.iso, provided in this distribution. Once you create the bootable
CD-ROM, simply boot your computer from the resulting CD.
To boot from CD, you can either hold down the "C" key while you turn your
computer on, or you can use HWSetup to change the boot priority so the CD
drive boots before the HDD.
Note, if your CD burner supports it, you can use a rewritable CD (CD-RW) disc
to create the bootable BIOS installation CD-ROM. Be sure to erase the
rewritable disc (if it has data on it) before you proceed. Once you are
finished updating your system's BIOS, you can erase and re-use the rewritable
disc.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Creating the bootable BIOS Installation CD requires a
specific set of steps that is unique to each CD authoring application. You
cannot simply copy the ISO image to a blank CD and expect to be able to boot
from it.
For your CD authoring/burning software, follow the instructions for creating
a CD from an ISO image. Brief instructions for some CD authoring/burning
software can be found in ISOCDROM.TXT, which is included in this package.
Here are some brief instructions for creating the bootable BIOS Installation CD from the provided ISO image.
Drag 'n Drop     Unfortunately the Drag 'n Drop CD application bundled with
CD:              many Toshiba PC models does not support creating a CD from
                 an image.  You'll need to use a different CD burning
                 application.
                 One such application for Windows XP is Alex Feinman's free
                 "ISO Recorder Power Toy". This appears to be a desktop
                 extension for Windows XP that allows you to right-click on
                 the 2610v19.iso file and use Windows XP's built-in
                 CD writing wizard to create the bootable CD.  It's a
                 reasonable alternative to buying a commercial software
                 package just to be able to burn an ISO image.  Information
                 about the ISO Recorder Power Toy is available at
                 http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
                 Note:  Toshiba neither recommends nor supports this
                 software.  Use it at your own risk.
Roxio Easy       By default, Easy CD Creator 5 allows you to initiate the ISO
CD Creator:      image recording process by simply double-clicking the .ISO
                 file in Windows Explorer.  Browse to C:\2610V19
                 and double-click the 2610v19.iso file.
                 Information about Easy CD Creator is available
                 at http://www.roxio.com
Nero:            Using the Nero Wizard, choose "CD" as the medium (default
                 for CD-R and CD-RW drives), and click Next. On the
                 following dialogs, choose Compile a new CD, Other CD formats,
                 Create a CD from an image file, clicking Next after each
                 selection, then click Finish.  In the File Open dialog,
                 browse to C:\2610V19,
                 select 2610v19.iso as the image file and click Open.
                 From the Burn dialog, select your desired burn parameters,
                 and burn the CD. Information about Nero is available at
