Hello, I am running windows 7 64 bit on a i7 laptop.
I tried to install 11:04 32&64bit and also 10:04 bit via WUBI.
All of them crash immediately after the GUI switches of from the installation. The mouse and key board becomes unresponsive I even left it for over two hours and I still only had that purple scene with a unmovable mouse in the middle of the scene. I also get no error report.
I would really like to have Ubuntu on my laptop via wubi.
Id appreciate any help thanks

According to the screenshot you already have 4 primary partitions (the maximum allowed on most modern computers) which means that you would have to create space for installing Ubuntu.

If you let us know the make and model of the computer we can check the specifications (often found online at the manufacturer's website).
