Wow not a period or punctuation in site. It would be helpful to break that text into understandable sentences with paragraphs. I am usually the last to comment on this area as I am not all that skilled myself in english composition.

I suggest this as you have a unusual problem and the way it is written will cut down the responses I suspect.;)

Otherethe,
You really should try to compose your posts more clearly. I gave up trying to decipher your post about one third of the way through it.

Agreed. I think its an accomplishment just getting through that.

Upgrades are often unstable from personal experience, I always recommend you do a clean install. You just said you know its a driver issue but can't install the drivers. I don't see why you can't? I think your best bet is to just do a clean install going back to 10.04 and the settings you had when it was working because in all honesty it seems like its going to prove far too difficult to collaborate with you to troubleshoot the issue.

alright maybe this will be clear for you

When I run World of Warcraft my screens randomly turn pink crashing my system
I know for a fact that it's the drivers because when I ran 195 on 10.04 they worked fine when I upgraded the drivers to 253 it started with the pink screens of death so I downgraded again to the 195 a few months later 10.10 came out I downloaded 10.10 formatted my system to do a clean install the Drivers 10.10 give me was doing the pink screen of death the 195 will not install on 10.10 and not sure why nothing under 253 will install on 10.10 Does this help you any?

It seems to me that you have a couple of options. The first one is to return to 10.04 and the 195 nvidia driver. The second is a fresh install of 10.10 and see if the newer drivers will install and run ok. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Do you have any sort of compositing enabled? (System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects tab) Try turning it off and running WoW. I have no clue if it'll make any difference, but it's worth a shot.
A keyboard with full stop and comma keys may also be useful.

Ok so after alot of trail and error I've found out it's the 32bit drivers that is doing this not the 64bit ones the game will not even run with out the 32bit installed drivers when the .run file ask to install them if you select no game will not run I know it's the Drivers and not Ubuntu due to the fact I installed fedora 14 installed the same drivers there it to has the same problems So if anyone knows of a .deb file with just the 32bit drivers for 195 this would really help ALOT I dont want it to effect my 64bit ones because they work just fine so if theres anyway of doing this plz someone help and if you cant understand how i've typed this out are how i've explaned this let me no as well i know im not the best speller and i know i dont have the best grammer so if i need to reword it with google I shall but hopfuly you guys will get what im talking about
