Hi, mark09.

Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Inside that new windows type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and press enter.

You'll be promted for your password. Type it (it won't show any asterisks, but it'll be fine. Press enter after your password).
 That should do it.

Can you help with this problem?
