Launcher missing after installing nVidia driver



I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 and installed nVidia driver 'current'.
But on restart, the launcher icons went missing. The screen size reduced to 1024x768.
I am able to right click on the blank desktop and create a folder and an empty document, but how do I launch applications to fix this ?



Try to type Alt + F2, search for "Software sources" go to "Additional drivers" tab and select driver for your nVidia.
Restart computer and may work.
Worked for me.
