Did you install the drivers off of the CD that came with the card or did you download them off of nvidia.com?
Also, did you try a different monitor?

On one hand, yes, I should have read your whole post. My apologies for that.
On the other hand:
1) Your post isn't exactly the most readable post. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation in most of the right places do help. It doesn't have to be everywhere, but for the love of God don't burn my eyes with an incoherent mess!
Just because other people use "L33T txt spk" doesn't make it any more understandable when cluttered together in a big ol' mess. Garbage in, garbage out, ya know... (you gave me a garbage effort, I gave you a garbage effort).
If you want people to understand you, make yourself understandable. Otherwise, you will have to repeat yourself to get anywhere. Not might, not maybe, will.
2) Being aggressive doesn't help, despite your apology for doing so. Nobody has to help you at all. They choose to, and we can all choose to turn the other cheek and not lose any sleep at night.
3) You still didn't answer my question about whether or not you tried a different monitor, unless it's somewhere in that mess of an original post, and I didn't see it (does CTRL+F search for "monitor" to see, so I don't make the same mistake again--nope, you didn't answer the question).
With all that being said, try downloading the drivers from http://www.nvidia.com. They tend to stay up to date far more than the manufacturers do.

first of all... it looks like you downloaded onboard graphics drivers if you got them from the PC manufacturer's site... killer is right, download the drivers from the Nvidia site...
secondly... did you try changing the display settings in Properties? right click on your desktop and select "Properties", the click on the "Settings" tab and look at your resolution settings... try changing the slider to at least 1024x768... make sure to accept the new setting and go from there... that should help a lot... but get those new Nvidia drivers...
good luck!

the fact that this thread has only been replied to by <1000 post members says a lot.
Nothing against them, of course. you start out eager to help everybody.... then you realize, after a while, (as killerb said) that unless they make the effort to receive there's no reason to give. I saw this post before any replies, but didn't bother to read through the original post for the same reasons killerb255 described.
Your description of the problem is relatively vague at best. "the screen goes funny"? All Blurry like? Be specific. What resolutions are you changing too, first off. If it isn't the native resolution of the monitor (LCD) it's going to appear blurry.
I'd go for the reference NVidia drivers, rather the the manufacturer's drivers.
Also have you tried a system restore?
