Ubuntu not working after installing video card drivers

[MysteryManX93]

When I go to update/install my video card drivers for my EVGA GeForce GTX 460 and reboot, as soon as I log in the desktop wallpaper shows up and nothing else loads. And also the resolutions go to a really small one (cant tell because nothing loads) but I think its less than 1280x800

I've tried using drivers from Ubuntu Software place, www.nvidia.co.uk, and through Terminal, and still no luck, I've had to wipe my installation and re-install to fix the problem.


I'd be very greatful if anyone could help


P.S, using latest version of Ubuntu

In my experience ...Nvidia graphics problems "can" be difficult to isolate (and time consuming !) ...
