Stripes on screen after installing Fedora

[Bjørn Ivar Johnsen]

I tried to boot, shift alt f1, then used the ..http://..nvidia command  
as bescribed earlier, but it just said that it could not find that  
adress?!
What im I doing wrong here?
I will try more in the morning, as it is 03:36 in the night here now,  
and hope to finally get it right then.
I am sure that i am just missing something here...

Thanks for all the help, and hope fir more:)

Kind regards:
Bjørn Ivar Johnsen
