Thanks for all the comments on my previous post.
Anonymous Coward: the program was Veetle, I use it with a TV program website I use, http://www.atdhe.net/ I did get it to install, and it screwed things up really bad. The machine wouldn’t boot without warnings, killed my sound, and no fixes on the internet worked, so finally I “restored” the computer.
I was thinking, “The day I write good things about Ubuntu, it crashes on me”. But I’m not giving up. I already put Ubuntu back on.
I might try Mint. The thing about Ubuntu is that it has a netbook version, which is what I have it installed on. (I got a free netbook, using my cell phone points)
I’m sure I will be whining here about my Ubuntu problems, like I whine about my Windows problems!!
Anyway, thanks again everyone, and don’t be afraid to try it! My rule for new computer things is, “Can I Undo it?”
