Have you checked "Synchronize Changes with ZENWorks", if yes YaST will be
slow to finish. Just let it finish, it takes quite some time which depends
on machine and Internet connection speed, how many repositories you added,
but even with new Athlon 64 it is few minutes for some basic stuff.


I have Zen disabled in Runlevels , The first time I tried to change and
save I waited 1/2 hour. I have been using YOU for all my patches,

That was one of reasons I removed all of ZENWorks, and use YaST only for all
software management stuff.

I had to kill the
process.

kill -9 <PID>
will usually produce big problems as signal 9 tells the kernel to terminate
application instantly. Application has no time to save data and in case of
YaST that results incorrupted database, which seems happend to you.
"Normal"
kill <PID>
will do that better as it uses signal 15 that just tells application to exit
and than wait until app is done.

I was in KDE at the time so I used <ctl><atl><esc> and when the skull
and crossbones appeared I clicked on the Window I wanted to kill. It
sounds like I did the same as kill -9

I did say that the Nvida/Novel link was not valid so I disabled
it,

Telling us that "Nvida/Novel link was not valid" is not sufficient as they
have many links related to drivers for different products. You should give
us exact URL that you think it doesn't work like
ftp://download.nvidia.com/novell
or
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.2
so that others can check link and see is there any problems.

Is there a config file that lists the sources that I can delete and
start over ?

I'll get back about the nVida URL
