Hi my name is Harry and i am new to this forum. I dont have much experience eith linux and the most of the time i use windows for my work.

Since 2 weeks now i decide to roll back to my favorite Ubuntu OS.Of course i kept

the windows for my creative suite of Adobe that i am working on.

So, i downloaded and installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and everything went ok.(Even the dual boot with grub).

Then i tried to install latest nVidia drivers and after reboot the max.res. i have is
640X480X60Hz.

My composition is Intel P4 2.8 --- Gigabyte PE8100 --- GeForce 5700 FX

The monitor is Philips CW220 22".

I tried many of the guides of Ubuntu forums and some of them made my system
unfunctional and some other had no result.

Please if anyone can give me a solution i will really appreciate that.

Thanks!
