anybody has an idea how to fix it? i'd really prefere to fix it than reinstalling it.
Thank you in advance
Similar situation
On my Fedora, when I updated the kernel to a new release, everything was cool. Then I installed the nvidia drivers (Fedora, not from nvidia), and strange things like that happened, not long after there was another kernel update and matching nvidia drv. , that did'nt help. Using a backup image of the fresh install, I made a new partition and installed it there, I installed the newest nvidia matching newest kernel last after all other updates and everything was fine. It was graphics related.
Have you applied updates lately, it can be related to any change made to the system recently.

Open a shell window, su to root, and type in drakconf. Read the resulting error messages, and you will have a much better idea of what is wrong.
If you don't understand the error messages, post back with them.

hey thank you for the reply,
i did that and this is what i got
Can't locate Gtk2.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/libDrakX /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/mygtk2.pm line 13.

You are missing a perl package, or else you have a version problem with your perl installation. The missing file should be here:
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux/Gtk2.pm
and it should have permissions 644. If it isn't there, then you need to reinstall at least one package, perl-Gtk2-1.140-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm.
If reinstalling this package doesn't fix things, then uninstall/reinstall all perl and that should fix you up.
