    Installs, log in works, then black screen

    I apologize in advance if the solution to my problem is already well documented. I have looked around and seen many accounts similar to mine, but I am reluctant to change things I don't know about if the problem isn't exactly my own.

    Installed from Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4

    -I have successfully installed this on my machine previously. But I formatted the root drive and reinstalled to make my /home a separate partition, it was previously displayed as a separate drive. My home folder has not been formatted for several OS changes, if that might be relevant.

    -The log in screen displays perfectly, but once I log in the screen goes black, save for a white rectangle in the middle which replaces the "loading animation". Also my mouse is visible and seems to work well. When I drag it to the upper left corner the words RSS Agregator appear in the middle, I think it is an attempt at the "present windows" effect.

    -I dual boot with Windows Vista. I use a NVidia 8800GTS graphics card.

    What other information might be useful?
    Thank you for looking this over and providing advice if you have it.

    -Alex
