Hi, welcome to the fora.

Why do you want additional drivers? Are the default ones not working well?

Well, the graphics could be a lot better and without the update im stuck with ubuntu classic, and when i play runescape the graphics are ok but the cursers look messed up, and the graphics could be 10x better but when i try to get the software it just crashes my wireless some how... i used a tut on netgear thing 'ndiswrapper' and when it doesnt work with the update i tried re-installing everything... if i cant update it i will just go back to windows vista, not windows 7 because i dont have a key and i just dont want to deal with all of that, even though i want to use ubuntu to download music =/
