Now i have got Graphic driver problems

Nvidia Accelarated graphic driver version 177 is nt getting installed ???

It tries to download the package and then quits at 0%

I manually downloaded a 32 bit driver from nvidia site which does nt get installed

Any ideas ??

I had to try 2-3 times before the display driver installed.

ShAdOwCoN · 11-21-08, 11:44 AM

Try this. Right Click desktop and select change background option. And got to the effects tab. Then select normal or the other option. You will be asked to install driver.

You can enable these effects in Compiz. I don't use the other options but you can play with it to get something good.
