Hey, I wonder If anyone can help, I have just decided to have another go with Ubuntu after a break (I gave up the first time because the picture was all messed up and grainy on my laptop using version 8, this is now finally fixed with version 10 after a lot of threads on here) I am now trying to load 10 onto my desktop and I am getting no picture at all. First I tried the 64bit version as I have 64bit capabilities on my desktop. It loaded but I just get an extremely garbled image of my windows desktop and thats it, nothing. I thought initially that it would be some kind of harware issue somewhere along the track, so I downloaded the 32bit version and tried that, having tried the old 8 disk earlier on in the day with no trouble, I thought that that should fix it. No such luck, still a garbled windows desktop, even though it is definately Ubuntu that I am loading into with Splash startup appearing and everything.
Can anybody help? I want to break away from windows:) I'm trying!

That will automatically attach the information we need to this bug.
Once you have done that, let us know whether booting with the nomodeset kernel parameter fixes the problem.
