updated fedora and now nvidia drivers dont work


hi
im was running fedora 7_64 and 3 day ago I updated it and after that my nvidia drivers quit working (nvidia-x11-97****)
after I updated and reboot got a weard screen telling me I was having a problem with my driver ang it guided me to reset my driver to defalt drivers wasnt worried about it was planing to reinstall so I could remove a hard drive
and now the same thing happend when I installed fedora 8_i386 except it didnt helpme reset it to the defalt drivers so I just reinstalled again
any ideas on how to get it working dont like living in 800x600

There are several third-party sites that maintain Nvidia packages and yum repositories. I tend to use Livna or FreshRPMS. They keep them pretty up-to-date.

Wait I'm confused. You say you installed fedora 8? Sounds like you did an update from 7 to 8? If so, completely remove the nvida driver you have now and reinstall from the repos.
(livna is what I would use)
