I went to inittab at root and changed the runlevel to 3 because I was 
told that sometimes you have to change the runlevel in order to get the 
nividia drivers install and then do a nvidia-xconfig to change it back 
to runlevel 5. Sorry for the confusion but I am thoroughly confused 
about all of this. I wish I sent my laptop to you. I believe it is 
something simple but I am not able to define in tech terms so all of you 
though you mean well are not able to help because I am not able to 
explain or demonstrate what is that's going on.
