Hi :)

You found an alternative application to run instead of using the Windows one from the Cd already? Nicely done :))

I am not sure about the sound issue but this guide seems to be helping people quite a bit too :)

Good luck and regards from

Hey, sorry i really didn't help there at all. I was hoping you would post a new question about this but instead you have solved the whole thing completely on your own!! I guess that does mean you now know more about linux than a lot of people who are so new to it, which helps :)

Brilliantly well done and congrats :)))
Welcome to linux-land, especially the Ubuntu corner of it :)

thanks;)
the main problem is actually the sound system..i managed to solve wit the link you gave..although i cannot understand a thing reading it at first, but somehow my brain managed to digest it..;)
now i want to apply new themes, i hv downloaded it and applied it but there's a problem..it says 'the required GTK+ theme engine ubuntulooks is not installed' so the intended looks cannot be displayed...any suggestions?;)
Thanks in advance..;)

Hi :)

Have you been able to test the new Ubuntu 10.04 before it gets officially released?
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/testing/lucid/beta1
Trying it as a LiveCd or as an extra dual/multi-boot would be ideal. Developers and everyone are keen to try to iron out any problems before 10.04 gets officially released so you might find faster & more effective answers to your bug reports which would make 10.04 work better on your system for you

Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
