Chkneater, Thanks for your time and reply. Your suggestion (number 1 regarding changing appearance settings) seemed to have worked. I plan on purchasing a video card soon. Are the card that you recommended supported by ubuntu, that is, will I have to install drivers for them?
Also, I'm having trouble finding in launchpad where I posted my problem, when I do, or if you email me back, I will add more information regarding my problem. Very much appreciated, Sincerely, john On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 9:49 PM, chkneater <chknea...@hotmail.com> wrote: > BTW, there is nothting wrong with your computer, it's just the default > screen effects are turned on.
