Press ALT+F2.

In the window that pops up, type gksudo nvidia-xconfig if you use gnome, or kdesudo nvidia-xconfig if you use kde.

You should be asked for your password, then the program should run. Then either reboot or press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE after saving all your open files because that command restarts the X server which kills all open programs.
