Got wick?

I am wondering how to know which installation version to use?
I first downloaded the 32 bit version, installed fine, ran fine with the exception of the wireless usb adapter. What happened at first was it saw the network, but could not connect. After a few reboots, it did not even come up in the hardware list.
Then I realized when I downloaded wine, that I had the i386 version installed, and my machine has AMD 64 processor. I installed the 64 bit version, but what happens is that I login, it loads up to the point where it plays the African music, then the screen either goes black or has garbled graphics, and loops back to the login screen.
Any suggestions?
ps: I still have the other version in the bootup screen.
Update: Reinstallation of the 64 bit version (Ubuntu 8.10) does basically the same as before, except now I get the nice bird on brown background screen, but nothing else. btw, the mouse works, but nothing to click on!
