Thanks for getting back to me. First off, I confess I am not very computer literate, but I am trying to learn! I do not understand what you mean by 'boot from a live cd and attach your kern.log'. I tried to find information on how to do this on the Internet with not luck. I put myself on a wait list at the local library to read up on Ubuntu and Linux. I understand that it could be frustrating to deal with someone like me, but please be patient, I am determined to be Microsoft free, even if it means having to learn another language.
