I did have a dual boot on my PC (XP & 11.04). I had problems originally upgrading from Maverick to Natty, as the pc is quite old, and the hardware was not totally compatible. After a few posts here a few weeks go, with help it got working ok, though there were still few graphic issues.
Anyway, yesterday i decided to get rid of my dual boot (as i have XP running on my spare pc) and instal a clean 11.04 on here on its own.
I burnt the .ISO and installed, when it did its hardware check, it said about the issues i knew about and told me to select Ubuntu Classic (which i have done).
Now when i log in the next screen (desktop) is just about blank, no top or bottom bars showing....nothing. IF i move the cursor about, i can get the odd piece of bar , and odd selection pop-up and then go again, but basically it does nothing.
I have to switch of at the base unit as i can not even get the off switch (top right) to stay alight long enough for me to click on.
Any help would be VERY grateful :confused:
