Hello board

I've been using 8.10 successfully and had installed my video card driver through the add/remove programs found in the applications menu. My Radeon Xpress 200M driver installed fine on my laptop.

I also installed frozen bubble to play with my girlfriend.

I had shutdown the laptop, but it said that my update manager wasn't responding. My update manager wasn't running so i clicked log out anyway.

Now my computer won't boot.

Is there any options that i can get to before my progress bar shows up. It stalls at about 15% of it's way through. When it there it eventually will say

udevd-event [2548]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

anything that i can do?
