FYI: Hardy was originally installed with only 1GB of RAM and was set up using an ATI PCI card that was a an improvement in video quality in XP when I originally installed the card about a year and a half ago. Assuming I understand that GRUB is the "Which OS do you want to use today?" menu, the top of the GRUB menu was at the bottom of the LCD moniter and bottom of the GRUB menu was at the top of the LCD moniter.

I thought that after upgrading the memory and the video card and re-installing Hardy, GRUB would sit where it's supposed to after the full install. Nope, I can see three options at the top and two at the bottom (on screen, three on the bottom and two up top).

Is there any way to format the GRUB menu so it sits on screen properly?

Do you happen to have a digital camera? It would be helpful to see exactly what you are trying to describe.

Not exactly a photo but a close approximation of what I'm seeing on screen when my pc boots up. The GRUB menu begins at the bottom of the screen and ends at the top of the screen. Imagine right before a movie is adjusted at a theatre, you see Batmans' toes at the top of the screen and his head is talking at the bottom of the screen.

I hope this helps clarify my problem . . .

Is it only Grub that has that problem? Or do you have similar/other video problems when you boot into Hardy or Windows XP?

Video is fine in both XP and Hardy (once completely logged in). Ubuntu found the ATI drivers automatically and works great! Compiz is working beautifully.

Somehow, the GRUB menu has fixed itself. I didn't do squat. It just works. Go figure . . .
