Glad you are able to boot now! 1.)add the xorg-edgers repository to apt list 2.)update system with 'apt-get update' 3.)install the nvidia packages needed sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings this should install latest nvidia driver edit: i see you are in the live environment, in that case you need to 'chroot' in to your installed version first (you should learn to do this anyway to fix a broken system). Or like i mentioned in your other post, simply append 'nomodeset' to your kernel options when at the grub boot list. This thread, first post, has info on how to do it (very easy) find part bolded 'How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)'. Glad you are able to boot now!

Also does linux need any antivirus software?
And why does the cursor disappear when i dont move it? Its so annoying, is there any way that i can disable that? And also why is the screen size only 1024 x 768, in windows 7 it was bigger?:S generally linux doesnt need antivirus like most windows installations, but you can run 'clamav' if you want. Cursor disappear? Sounds like a cinnamon specific issue. Doesnt do that for me with openbox. Hope someone else will know.
I am new to Linux Mint. I had trouble installing Wine with my package manager. I finally go Wine Tricks to install. I like the versatility. I wish there was a better uninstall.

And Windows allows far more sophisticated control of permissions than Linux. The major reasons that Windows is (apparently) less secure than Linux are (i) Linux users are generally more knowledgeable and (ii) Windows is a bigger target. This seems to be changing as Linux dumbs down.
Sudo apt-get install ddm Install Linux Mint 'Driver Manager' in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty/13.10 Saucy/13.04 Raring/12.10 Quantal/and other related Ubuntu derivatives Linux Mint 15 had Driver Manager for the first time which is developed by Linux Mint team. Mint-Drivers relies on the same Ubuntu driver manager back-end and works the same way as software-properties-gtk. It just looks a bit better than Ubuntu Additional drivers. The 'Driver Manager' is an independent application, separate from 'Software Sources' and which you can launch straight from the menu. Drivers are listed by package name, and their version are clearly stated (in the case of the NVIDA drivers you can therefore choose according to a particular version instead of wondering what 'current' or 'updates' really mean).
