Thanks Wesley

Yes a whole lot and I don't know how to display them as a screen at a 
time, (like 'more' in Windows). But I was able to see...

[  18.417945] NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!

This made no difference, no error message or anything  (However I did 
notice for instance if I try and run a program (like Kate) I get the 
error "Cannot connect to X server")

When I try this I get the error "Nvidia-glx not available. Package is 
missing or obsoleted."

As you said it's old instructions!!

This very frustrating!! In 2 years I've never had this problem - now 
with K10.10 I do. It's like sound, networking and other things. 
Sometimes they have worked and sometimes they didn't!!

Thanks for the help - Don't know if I can cure this with my level of 
knowledge..... Maybe I should re-install (yet again) back to 10.04!!!??? 
This is just the kind of thing that has caused all my re-installs.

You can contact me directly if you have any cleaver ideas 012 817 2001 
as I have a lot of work to do next week so have to cure this this weekend.
