Hi, and thanks for responding! I did run the Update Manager which failed to get 2 of the files. I tried it again and it seemed to get them the second time (something called xulrunner).
I'll look into the NVidia idea on the windows side of the machine ( I tried to run System Testing and the machine faded to white and hung). When I rebooted I did have an option to save off error & config logs so did that (they are attached here).

If you have not done so, please run the Update Manager to make sure your system is up to date. Hopefully doing so will fix some of the problems you are experiencing. In regards to your graphics issue, do you have an NVidia graphics card? If so, did you install the NVidia driver? -- On boot up, I get a message that it has to use low-res and I can't change a thing on the display settings (I'm on an HP touchsmart). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522820 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu newbie here. On startup, I get a message that it has to use low-res display - and the display is very odd. It's like it doesn't have a driver for an HP Touchsmart (desktop). Also I get no sound (don't know if they are related...). I just upgraded from 9.04.
