I will try the recovery mode, thanks Ryan



Another question:
WHY AREN'T YOU USING APT FOR ISNTALLING THAT DRIVER??
 
>apt-cache search nvidia
it'll be nvidia-glx-XXX where XXX is a version number for the gfx card you want (legacy use 73, middle level 96 and cutting edge cards use... 176? the last one.)
>sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-XXX
 

Because it gave the same error using thee hardware driver option, very frusting I might add.

Later,
Brian
