This is really odd. I have been trying to get everything set up like my
Wubi installation, in my VM. I think I have everything added for the
flash files, as per what I have on Wubi, but it wont play. What is even
more worrying is that I cannot get a google page to show, it shows a

Wow - great you got it working mate.
Things will be greyed out in the menus because they were for before

My guess is that the first two installations were actually fine, it's

If you need any help with Windows itself you are welcome
I dont know what happened there, but I tooka snapshot of the VM
uninstalled it, then installed it again, now its working perfectly and
it even has extras, which I assume must be from the Guest Additions. I
dont have to use the right/ctrl to access the host machine, it just

Hmm well that certainly is very strange. You might be better off
asking on the VirtualBox forums rather than this list if it fails to
work again.

I can't see how a VM could do that - it ain't what they do.
Sounds to me like your router is near death...

think it might have been something to do with the VM Network connector. I
have a feeling it changd the IP address, and I also think it might have

Hi Norman
The router in itself should not be relevant to the OS you are using.
What is however is the wireless adapter you are using.
If you are not going to be changing that then you have no worries.
If however you go for one of these OTT new-fangled "N" routers it's likely
you'll need to cha
The Gadget Show recently ran a review of many routers. IIRC the D-Link
DIR-825 and the Sitecom brand came out very well. The Sitecom Gaming
Router was the quickest to set up as well. Check the show's site out
for more detailed info.
The operating system shouldn't make a difference if it's vi
I fear that my router will soon die and, as it is a number of years
since I installed my present one, I wondered if any one had any pearly
words of wisdom they could cast in my direction. I am running Ubuntu
9.04 if that makes any difference, thanks.

So the VM stopped working or just the VM? If it's the VM that lost
it's connection to the Internet then that's normal because of the
network drivers - just reboot it.
If it was the laptop itself then I do apologise!

Bit of a disaster, after installing the extras, the laptop stopped

Is there any point in doing this? I currently have installed 9.04 via
WUBI in Vista Home Premium.
Would there be any performance advantage (say) in removing Vista
completely and re-installing Ubuntu or is it just as good to stay with
what I have?

Hmm it shouldn't be on your desktop -are you referring to your Ubuntu
dtop or the VM one?
Open up the autorun.inf file in Notepad - it'll tell you which file is
meant to start up automatically (I can't for the life of me remember
which one it is).
If you need any more help let me know.

Go to my computer (or computer, should I say) and right click the disk

You need to install the VirtualBox additions - it's in one of the

I followed your second suggestion - using Live CD to examine Xorg.0.log.
I found the following error flag:

That was the only entry.
