OK, so I have re-downloaded the iso - and the MD5sum checks out fine. I reinstalled it OK and everything looked fine - UNTIL i enabled the proprietry NVIDIA drivers for my 7200GS. I then got the same problems - exactly. Once I disabled them again evertyhing worked perfectly. I even tried using envy to install them ( www.ablertomilone.com) and the problem returned. A friend has suggested it might be an Open GL conflict somewhere along the lines, but I am at a loss on how to proceed now.

Any help would be awesome :)

worked.  But as I don't know the names of all packages and

I want - this aint too good :(

So - has anyone else encountered this - or does it sound like I may have 
a hardware fault? It's driving me nuts. I really want to ditch Windows
for good, but only if it's gonna work!
    


It sounds like you *may* have a dodgy install cd... can you check the md5sums for your disc/*.iso file against what it should be?

There's a good how-to here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

(What the sum should look like can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes)

I'll give that a blast - but I did verify my CD from the  boot menu - and it said it was OK.
