I ran Ubuntu all weekend from a CD. I tried to install it, and even thought it said installation complete, it wasn't installed! So I kept running it, but today, it won't run. After the logo appears with the menu, no matter what you choose, the screen goes blank, usually with a blinking cursor in the upper-left-hand corner. I'm beginning to think it might be a problem with the old computer I've been using for about a month and a half. Or maybe not.

I don't know why it didn't install if I went through the hwol einstallation process. If it really did install, I don't know if I'd be going through this. I'd probably be going through some other thing.

At one point, a screen appeared saying that the problem was a software or hardware change. I don't remember what I did after that, but I ended up in Windows safe mode, but I couldn't get online. At t his rate, I might have to buy YET ANOTHER computer!

Can you give me a step by step list of what you did?
