Perhaps if<br>you can provide this someone can advise further.<br><br>It certainly sounds like it's having weird graphics problems, though if<br>you're not experiencing similar problems when running Windows this suggests<br>software rather than hardware. In recent releases the standard Ubuntu<br>distribution has made a lot of changes to the windows manager. If you have<br>the time check out Xubuntu ( <a href="http://xubuntu.org/" target="_blank">http://xubuntu.org/</a>), it doesn't require a 3D<br>graphics card and is lighter on resources while maintaining features like<br>the Software center/app store etc.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Martin<br>On Mar 21, 2013 11:53 PM, "JOHN COUZIN" <<a ymailto="mailto:john.c.at95@btinternet.com"

fine for about a year. Any<br>> ideas, before I go crazy.
