I can't enable or download any Nvidia drivers. In the image below, you can see I am offered four options. Selecting to enable any of them results in the error message shown:

Here's some of what is in /var/log/jockey.log:

I have a dual monitor set up, but because of this problem, I can only get one monitor to work.

How do I make it so I can actually use one of the Nvidia drivers and have complete graphics ability?

Update: If I run nvidia-config and generate an xorg.conf file, then my system won't boot.

Update 2: This problem can also occur on Ubuntu 12.04. Luckily, the provided solution also works there.
