I have experienced
problems that are similar to this, usually because of a CDR that I damaged myself through carelessness. In addition to your GUI, do you also have a working internet connection? If so, you should be able to connect to a Suse site somewhere that will allow you do download and install any additional packages that you may want/need. Most modern linuxes have some sort of provision for this, although I do not know exactly where to direct you for Suse (I´m a Mandrake guy).
If you have an internet connection, and cannot seem to figure out Suse´s package manager, a decent search engine could probably point you in the right direction
