Then you can try dpkg-configure -a again. You can also try to delete nvidia.ko in the kernel libs, so it inhibits to start nvidia-driver. Try then dpkg-reconfigure -a again. Maybe it is working now. You might try to deinstall the downloaded package with dpkg -r nvidia-blabla.deb If this all fails, trigger me again, maybe I have some other ideas. Good luck!
