 Then what do you suggest I do to get my nvidia drivers installed.

You refer to kmod's and akmod version drivers. Have you tried building
your own from the bin file?

Add rdblacklist=nouveau to the kernel line in your grub conf file

I quickly searched the thread and I didn't see what version of Fedora
he's using. This makes a difference. You used to only need
rdblacklist... but in F15 you also needed to set nomodeset or
something like that since nouveau added modesetting and now in F16 I
think rdblacklist is depreciated but supposedly still works, I'm not
sure when that will change (3.2 kernel?)

I did all that was instructed and yet it would not install. Repeatedly, I have given the error message received after trying to install nvidia drivers.  I will do it again. This is it:
{300.637097} iwl4965 0000:0c:00.0: Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load = 1
{499.666989} iwl4965 0000:0c:00.0: Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load = 0
