Well, it sounds like the first thing you need to do is to run your knuckles down a cheese grater.  This really helps me a lot when I want to post with a subject line in all-caps.  Then, make sure your clue phone is plugged in and the ringer is on.  Every time my computer tells me that something is missing on my system and I start to think it's a bug in somebody else's software, there is usually an underlying clue that's trying to get through to me, leaving me voice mails and such -- check that one out.  Lastly, make sure you haven't doused yourself with gasoline and stormed into a forest fire screaming about your personal problems.  Sometimes when I do that, I end up getting flamed.

Good luck!

Funny Daniel, but seriously Duzra have a read of Netiquette (http://http://www.albion.com/netiquette/).

About the problem, if your on Linux it could be that you haven't enabled it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (ie. make sure Driver "nvidia" is in the Device section). Also check that the driver supports your video card. You could try the Omega drivers (http://http://www.omegadrivers.net/nvidia.php) if your using Windows.

See, if I wasn't such a mean jerk, hailstone may not have had sympathy for you and responded helpfully.  I would also suggest doing a google on the exact error message you are getting and put it in "quotes".
