Hello.
I just got an acer aspire M3641 and am having trouble installing Hardy Heron ("HH").
It has an NVidia GForce card, 4 GB RAM, 2.10 GHZ - I can't see why I can't install it.
I have a SATA HDD
I attempted, as I have done so in the past, to run HH off the CD to make sure it runs smoothly. This time, however, I got to a black screen with writing which shows that it is attempting to open/install somehting, but then FREEZES.
Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance.

i have also a m3641.
The Hardy Heron Freeze a lot on it
so, I have installed the Gusty and it works

hello,
after trying to install the good resolution (1680x1050) on the Gusty... i give it up ! (one entire day to try)
I re-install the 8.10 intrepid. So, the sound works fine, the graphic card and the resolution are ok !
BUT.... it always freezes when i go TO SURF on the internet.
when i only send and receive my e-mails it's ok.
When i download packages via synaptic: it's ok.
but when i use Firefox or Epiphany => it freezes !
Please, does somebody have the solution?
thanks in advance !

Do you have desktop effects enabled if so turn compiz off. Try using no visual effects and see if that helps.
