Do you remember the names of the stuff you shut off? If not, boot into single user mode, and tell us the contents of /etc/rc5.d (I believe 5 is the Fedora's default runlevel) If I had to guess without any information, I'd guess that you disabled something nvidia related. --Ken Bloom -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
