Can you provide the version which comes up as installed when you run this command:

# dpkg -l | grep nvidia

From the console you can use the following command to install (and I guess replace or remove) the binary driver installed:

# jockey-text

Keep in mind that you may just need to (re)move your xorg.conf (video server config file):

# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old-darkness

Hope this helps.
