Unhappy UBUNTU display drivers


I've installed Ubuntu only yesterday in my new laptop everything worked out fine till I installed the nVidia display driver suggest by its search. When I rebooted, the display went blank after displaying the normal ubuntu startup circles. Actually the display gets switched off and NOT BLACK (you can mke that difference easily) but the system keeps on. You can infact even log in if you type the password (as if blindfolded, of course ), you know this by the welcome music. Then you can do the work too if you know how to use the keyboard.

When I tried starting in the recovery mode then I did as suggested in most of the other forums i.e. type the command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
but unlike as suggested the rest of the process does not follow and the command line reappears.

Some linux geek please suggest some solution. I'm new to linux.

Thnx anyhow
