Use Sudo, or just log in as root to install it.

dont even try. don't d/l things from the web. use what's in the
repositories. in this case use enyng to install nvidia/ati drivers. you
are still thinking like a windroid.

sorry to follow up to myself, bad form and all that.

That should have read Envyng. Alternatively try glx-new from the
repositories.

When I did a search for Nvidia last night using SPM nothing was found, I
typed in Envyng and get a synopsis for ATI and Nvidia drivers; qestion now
is whats the difference between core,gtk and qt I have 3 choices but the
synopsis dosn't change for either of them.

probably because *nix, unlike windoze, is case-sensitive try nvidia.

qt and gtk are merely alternative GUI front-ends for envyng. Choosing
either in synaptic will automatically ask to install core as a
dependency. As you're using gnome go with GTK, if you choose qt you will
pull in all the qt dependencies, if you haven't already got qt installed.

Almost there, I got my resolution the way I want it, I got some sound, I
ticked ES1371-DAC2/ADC, so I get my MP3 to play, but videos from CNN or
BBC will play with no audio so thats my next task to get them to play, I
thought flash had sound with it.

No. You have no need to do this.

Select
System -> Adminstration -> Hardware Drivers

Drivers that match your Nvidia card are already available. You just
need to place a tick in the box of the relevent section of the
"Hardware Drivers" box to enable them.
