Ok, great to hear that.
Sorry it took so long, but it's just like we missed each other post after post.
Well, I was wrong; I'm not able to reinstall the video driver yet. After I uninstalled the old driver, I tried to install the new one. It told me the new one was an x86, whereas I have the 64-bit Oneiric installed. So that file was one I had downloaded a couple of months ago and it is the wrong one. So I switched over to my Windows machine and downloaded the 64-bit driver to both my USB drive and my SD card. When I tried to mount each of those on the Ubuntu computer, I got an error saying that I needed to specify the filesystem type. I did the mount command again with the filesystem type, msdos, and it told me that I have a bad superblock on both drives. I am quite certain this is not true because the USB drive is totally new. Someone palease help me fix this drive issue, and I really think I can take it from there.
I just thought of something. Is there any way to download the driver from the NVIDIA website using the console commands? I've never done that before, and I don't know how.

I tried wget and finally--something worked the way it should!
The real source of most of my trouble in this was the continued failure of my USB drive and SD card. I may have to start another thread to find the problem with those if I can't find some good advice elsewhere in the forums.
Thanks guys!
