double OS

[donzwijn]

I already have winXP installed on my pc
And decided to install ubuntu 8.04 as well.
install (before first reboot) worked fine,
Then after rebooting it continued the install also worked fine,
Then when everything was installed I chose for ubuntu instead of xp to load, some weird text came up,

and when everything was loaded my screen just looked very weird.

green red and blue pixels, so started up in winxp what still works fine, I've uninstalled ubuntu but i do want it installed without any problems.

anyone can help me?:confused:

Since there are no really usefull answers. and i found a screenshot of my problem on the internet.

The only difference is That i only see those colors when starting up. So no toolbar, black box and no picture.

This also occured while booting up with ubuntu install cd ( without the install)

My graphic card is a NVIDIA g72,
Other hardware is found a few posts back

Thanks for your post,

But i dont know how to install the new drivers since i can't see anything else but the weird colors.
Do i have to install them on the winxp im running now so ubuntu will see it?

Or is there another way to do it?

thanks

I figured that out, so I've edited my post with another solution.
if it doesn't work , I think it could be somthing with the bios settings
