How to fix "bad return status for module....."?

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 1 for testing purposes.
After installation, I update then upgrade. I found out that I can't change resolution. I can't change it to 1024x768. I only got a list of 800x600, with refresh rate list of 0. Nothing else.
Now, I tried to install the proprietary driver of my nvidia card and was hoping to get it fixed by installing it. But without luck, i receive an error while installing it. Receive the error " SystemError: installArchives()failed".

From that moment on, I can't upgrade from terminal. I get this error:
