I'm running a dual boot with the latest version of Ubuntu and Windows XP. Yesterday after i had to reboot, the resolution was changed to 800*600 (I normally use 1680*1050). I had been using the driver from the add/remove package, i got some advice from a fellow Linux user, he told me to try and use EnvyNG. i uninstalled the driver from the package, and installed it via EnvyNG, when i did i got the message, "Traceback (most recent call last):
File "interface.py", line 432, in <module>
a.mainMenu()
File "interface.py", line 295, in mainMenu
a.driverMenu('nvidia')
File "interface.py", line 322, in driverMenu
self.driverPage(driver)
File "interface.py", line 216, in driverPage
candidateLen.append(len(details['candidate']))
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()"

Thanks in advance.

Not a fact at all. That is a massive load of crap.
The reason it is an unknown "fact" is because it's a lie.

Nvidia + 6GiB RAM works perfectly for me.
