Hi Dennis,
mandrake 10 and 10.1 included NVidia driver in the CD, if you have a
problem with the new driver from nvidia.com, you can used the driver
from your Mandrake Distro.

You might try the following guide:

It explains how to install the Nvidia drivers from tar files. Thsi

It sounds like you are using GMC to browse your files, and you've run into
