Its not the video driver that prevents you from running those files, its the codecs. Go to "Add/Remove Programs", search for and install the following:
GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin
GStreamer extra plugins
GStreamer plugins for aac, xvid, mpeg2, faad
GStreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack
Then go here and follow the instructions for adding the MediBuntu repositories, then install the Win32 codecs package:
Code:
sudo apt-get install w32codecs
If you want to watch DVDs, you'll also need to install the css package:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
As for installing your video driver, all you usually have to do is go to the Restricted Drivers Manager application and enable the Nvidia driver.
