Very interesting, I went and bought a new video card, Mad Dog Nvidia FX 5200 
plus, and installed it in the computer I was having problems getting the 
Nvidia drivers  working.   The old card was a Nvidia Gforce 400mmx with 64 mg 
mem.  Anyway, I put the new card in, booted with the LE DVD and let it run 
through an update without selecting anything new. Got to the last screen and 
checked the video, it was detected correctly, so went on to boot. Lo and 
behold the Nvidia splash screen popped up and the system went on to a 
complete boot to the KDE desktop. It works with no lock ups and does a 
adequate job of games.  The other card worked not glitchy or anything, so I 
wonder if it is a case of not enough card memory or I should check firmware 
updates on the old card?  As I said, very interesting. I have LE 2005 on two 
comps now and it runs like a thouroghbred. Both using Nvidia cards, one with 
128m ram and the other 256m vid ram. Maybe an answer for others with Nvidia 
driver problems?
