Mandrake 10 no graphics - only CLI

I have installed Mandrake Ver 10, yet each time I boot up it has only CLI. During setup it comes up with "configured" for each item including my graphics card. I have a NVidea, and it works fine when I install Redhat.

Have tried changing the resolution in the start-up but to no avail....I would live to try the GUI....any ideas?

Regards

Tried it again.....It failed to initialiose the NVdia card and therefore found no screens

Is that any help?
