I have Xp and I followed a tutorial to install Ubuntu on a virtual machine in microsoft virutal machine 2007. Ubuntu seemed like a great system so I wanted to give it a try! So I am a n00b with Ubuntu and Linux.

Unfortunately, I've got two problems.
1) When I try to change the screen resoultion to something smaller than 1152 x 768 on Ubuntu it gives me a messed up screen. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200.

2) How can I get my wireless internet to work on Ubuntu? I searched around the forums (a little) and found that it's an annoyance but can be solved. I have a NETGEAR WG111T 108Mbps Wireless USB2.0 Adapter plugged into my computer. I tried installing from the netgear setup cd and it didn't work.

Any help is appreciated by this n00b. Thanks. :D

Also if there is any easier way to do this without problems? Different virtual program.. etc.

All problems are solved by removing MS.
