Wubi doesnt startup via boot menu

[NegusK]

Hello, i installed wubi and it worked the first time i launched it, but when i try to start it again from the boot menu it just goes into a purple screen and then a black screen, afterwards theres nothing i can do except of restarting the computer and experiencing the same problem..

Is there anyway i can launch ubuntu in a way which it wont fail to startup ?

thanks

I dont think they're talking about the same problem i have.
I can start up my computer, but not ubuntu, only windows

The problem I linked to refers to problems starting Ubuntu. The symptoms can be any of: black screen, purple screen, frozen, corrupted display, successful login but laggy and sometimes icons/launchbar not present.

These are all the result of graphics drivers that do not have open source drivers (and therefore are not included by default). Booting with nomodeset gets you booted in a low graphics mode, and then you can look in "additional-drivers" and install the required closed source driver.

So I believe the link does apply to you.
