Run ldconfig as root in a terminal.  Have you rebooted the machine? The
Nvidea Readme sejust to do this. 
I have never had these problems with there drivers since beta. But had a
plethora of problems with the DKMS ones. I am just happy they even
suppport the card I use on this machine, because it is not supported in
Windows.

On your regular user account you may not have a file association with
the file your opening. Right click on the file and say open with. Or
open with another application and select the one you want to associate
with the file....
