I just recently had this same problem with my old desktop with the same
graphics card.

My problem: I'm still a novice in Linux. I started out with Xubutnu 13 awhile
ago, then found out it's not a bug but i support issue. *ubuntu 13 maybe even
12 only supports Xorg server 11 which doesn't support Nvidia driver 96.**. So i
downgraded to Xubuntu 11 which automatically installed my graphics card but
after a couple ppl told me its not a good idea to switch to unsupported OS and
i found out Debian 7 is current and still supports older Nvidia drivers. When i
switch to Debian 7 it doesnt auto install so i had some problems there but
nothing to complex. and for the missing icons and such (which isnt a problem in
Debian 7) just go to Settings> Appearance> Fonts tab uncheck "Enable
Anti-Aliasing and/or Icon tab and switch the icon option.

My Fix: Here's a link to a forum i posted on with the fix
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5078340#post5078340

Hopes this helps!
