Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and check the box to enable
the restricted drivers for your NVIDIA card if the option is provided.
If the restricted driver remains unactivated after attempting to activate it
in the Hardware Drivers dialog, you may not have the appropriate linux
headers installed to compile the driver. Ensure that the linux-headers-XXX
and linux-restricted-modules-XXX packages are installed, where XXX matches
the version of the kernel you are using (linux-image-XXX).
If the activation hangs on download/install dialog, you can install the
driver using System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager, make sure you
pick the latest driver version recommended by the "Hardware Drivers" tool and
all its dependencies. Go to Hardware Drivers tool and activate the driver you
just installed.
once downloaded & installed reboot your computer.
The Hardware Drivers tool may not work properly on machines that have
previously used third party tools like 'Envy' or manual installation to
install previous drivers. You should remove those drivers before attempting
to install using the built in tool.

Common Issues
Low Screen Resolutions
Often screen resolutions on offer are far lower than those offered with the
open source driver. The NVIDIA binary driver seems to be very weak at
reliably probing this information from the monitor and relies on additional
information in xorg.conf.
To fix this you can Add more resolutions:
open up a Terminal
run "xrandr --addmode S-video ...." (with-out the "" where the dots add the
resolution you want .)
