Bug Description

Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

when I started my computer, a window opened that said this; "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?"
this has not happened in the past, and there is nothing wrong with my graphics card or driver. if I click "yes" another window pops up that says; "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." I'm not sure what to do, or what exactly has happened to cause these windows to appear, as well as this error to occur.
