I have a problem with my system and it is rather frustrating as the only reason I use windows at all is because one of my computers just will not run ubuntu properly and it just happens to be my best computer.
Ok enuf rambling the problem is this. I can't get the nvidia drivers to work I have used the hardware drivers app and it will tell me to restart after installing the drivers, but when i restart I get the "runing in low grafix Mode" message come up I have my suspitions that it could be the chipset drivers but I would not know where to get them from.

phenom Quad 9900 2.4GHz CPU
MSI K9A2 Motherboard
nvidia FX7600GT grfx card
