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.

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 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".
