    Not a problem. I was frustrated because so many of the various 
things do not exist.

    But then I learned that I can call "Hardware Drivers" any time I 
need it. For some reason I thought this software was from the Internet. 
Stupid but true.

    So when I discovered "Hardware Drivers" it was all over. I tried 3 
of the nvidia software packages but the last has worked fine and I am 
using 8.10 now to see how well it performs.

Thanks for your help and sometimes we find our own fix.
