If it's the former press CTRL & ALT & F2 together to switch to vt2 and log-in there (if it's the latter, just log-in ).
$ apt-cache search gnome-session
gnome-session - GNOME Session Manager - GNOME 3 session
gnome-session-bin - GNOME Session Manager - Minimal runtime
gnome-session-common - GNOME Session Manager - common files
gnome-session-fallback - GNOME Session Manager - GNOME fallback session
gnome-session-canberra - GNOME session log in and log out sound events
$ sudo apt-get -u install gnome-session

I could take a chance and just go for a fresh install but if I lost the home drive I'd be gutted. Do you know if ubuntu is the only distro with this nvidia card issues or it affects others?

As long as your /home is on a separate partition then when you install choose "other" and set it up as /home and ext4 (or why) and NO FORMAT, and it will keep it intact.

Do you have a floppy on it? You can make a floppy based boot disk for the cd. You will have to google for it as it has been many many years since I used floppies.

I swear I will get to the bottom of this LiveCD Caper though. I'm sure someone in here said about downloading the drivers and copying them over to the USB stick somehow. In the meantime I'm back. The monitor going of at the first click of something on the desktop is still happening which is the reason I was deleting DE's and got myself in this position in the first place. Maybe I should also look at graphics drivers, I have attached a list of available ones.
On another note, I came across some info on how to totally uninstall everything that was installed at the time by going back into the history logs. I had that many that I couldn't find when I installed the de's so I guess there may be leftover stuff. Maybe will do the format anyway but without the pressure of having to get a working system first.
