I have updated my my laptop ( Lenovo Ideapad Z560) from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.04. I am using both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop now.
My laptop uses: Intel HD Graphics in processor,external analog monitor support via VGA DB-15 connector and digital monitor supportvia HDMI, HDCP-compliant
I am unable to use any of the 4 options following the prompt given above.
Options:
1. Run in low-graphics mode for just one session.
2. Reconfigure graphics.
3. Troubleshoot the error.
4. Exit to console login.
Results:
1. Gives no change and loops back.
2. No options able to be changed.
3. Troubleshooting gives no new solutions in any manner so far.
4. Sends me back to login.
Using Ctrl+Alt+F1, I used
sudo apt-get update (upgrade)
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get --configure -a
Had 40 Updates and 288 Upgrades but not solutions for my error.
I am willing to put hours of work into my laptop to get it moving again but I need the support that I know I can get from here. Thanks!

I don't think there is a solution yet, I couldn't find one. This may be of interest to you;

After removing unity as described there ( Scroll down), my graphics worked. So now I use "GNOME Classic".
I have no idea whether this will help you, but it can't hurt to try.
There is always a way, but it might not be the best way, or your way!
