Wish I was making a first post on better circumstances, but anywhoo.
When I try to use the livecd I get as far as the computer telling me that it doesn't recognise my graphics card & monitor, so I choose use low settings for now (I tried configure, but any options I chose just caused strange graphical glitches to appear, and to tell me again that the monitor/graphics card wasn't supported).
It then returns to loading screen (where it details the different things it's doing) but seems to have crashed. I'm able to enter text on screen (in a dos like environment) but I get no response from the computer.
Similarly if I just click the install option at the original boot menu, I load up a terminal (rather than an installation GUI).
My setup:
AMD 64 3200+
250GB HDD
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon x800XT Platinum
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Forgot to mention, this cd installed Ubuntu on a laptop a few weeks ago, and I did a disk check (on the boot menu) today which said it was fine
