i did a force install it did the work thanks!!
but i got another problem theres, when i rebooted after the login there was nothing.
The only thing was there was the mouse pointer. don't know what to do.

[devils casper]

Press Alt+Ctrl+F1. It will switch to Command Line Login prompt. Log in as regular user and execute this

su -
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
startx

Post exact error message here, if any.
