<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi all - I wonder if someone might be able to help me; I have been running Ubuntu on my PC since 7.04 and have found all the newer versions have worked well. I had a good mature installation of 8.10 and tried to run 9.04 as a live session from a disc pressed by Canonical, with limited success, running in 'Safe Graphics Mode' only<br><br>I replaced the graphics card, an ATI X1050 128 MB with an NVIDIA 8400GS 256 MB and this runs very well with my Windows XP on a separate Hard Disc Drive. It also runs Puppy, Zenwalk and Fedora as live sessions, but Ubuntu 9.04 WILL NOT PLAY AT ALL, although the installed 8.10 works well; attempting to upgrade from 'inside' 8.10 failed with the message 'Loading, please wait', but however long I waited, nothing happened.<br><br>A brief message appears, even with 8.10 about an unexpected IRQ trap at some location,
but it disappears before I can note it down and then starts as normal.<br><br>I have, with a little wheedling, succeeded in trying 9.04 as a live session on my wife's XP box and everything works beautifully! She too has an NVIDIA 8400 gs card and a SATA hard drive.<br><br>Any help anyone could offer would be more than welcome, and I am quite prepared to pay the going rate for anyone who can rescue me!<br><br>Bob Marshall.<br><br></td></tr></table><br>
