Thank you for your response. I thought that my experience might help solve a problem that was similar to others but enough different to be unique. I have since changed to the 32 bit mode and have had no problems. I think one of the biggest problems with version 64 was because of a driver that it kept trying to install that was not available for 64 mode. It was an outside driver but I can't remember if it was for java or flash. At an rate it would hang up the update manager every time it tried to update. I'm running 10.04 now on two computers, both Intel core 2 duo, one on a laptop and the other a desktop. My stop button has vanished a few times but that problem seems to have gone away with the updates. I truly think this is the best system I've ever used, and if there is anything I can do to help test let me know. Thank you for all you do. Larry
