I am very new to ubuntu. Since upgrading from Maverick Meerkat to Natty Narwhal My desktop has been unusable. At login I chose Ubuntu classic as instructed when installing Natty Narwhal as my hardware wouldn't support the new desktop. At startup the desktop appears for a second and then disappears and I am left with the ubuntu startup screen with the usual desktop menus across the top. When I click on a menu the submenu appears and a rectangular box slightly larger than the menu with the desktop visible in this box. If I select anything it flickers on and off and appears to be underneath the ubuntu startup screen as if it were a layer. Please help I am at a complete loss. Is there anything I can do? Could I reinstall Maverick Meerkat from a C.D.? Thank you.My computer is a Dell Dimension 1100 and has integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2. I am dual booting with Windows XP, which is working normally.
i clicked on a card game it flickered but didn't come on, then I pressed shutdown and the game was visible behind the shutdown dialogue box but was not responding to mouse clicks but if I click shutdown that works.
