hay .thanks but i don't understand ,are you saying open a root terminal .then type in sudo .or what .or could you be so kind and type it out .how i should type it in the root terminal .

On the keyboard press "ALT F2", that is, press and hold the "ALT" key and then press the "F2" key. A small window with a text entry box will pop up, in this window you must type the following exactly as I have written it:

 gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

In the editor that appears you must remove any lines that contain the words "http://wine.lowvoice.nl". Remove all of those lines and press the "CTRL" key and the "S" key to save the file.

Now you should be able to upgrade. I will not be able to help you on this matter any further as version 7.10 is a BETA release only and is not ready for use by those that don't know what they are doing.

thank you Alan .you are the man.P.S which book due think i should get .that would help me with learning Ubuntu.for a beginner like me

Hay .Alan i think that their could be something worng .i do get updats .but no mention of upgating to 7.10.so i went to the web .downloaded 7.10.now it saides that it would ask me .if i wanted to upgrade .well it doesnt.and so reading so more .i found a command that cd ~/desktop.and it would start the cd .but in the terminal all i get is that no such file .or directory .do think that thier is something worng with my system .or is thier a way to find out if the os is running fine on my laptop

I think you should wait until Ubuntu 7.10 is fully released in a few days before you upgrade. beta releases are aimed at developers and, no offence, but you do not seem particularly computer savvy.

Have you seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades

hay .you are right of course .and I'm going to stay with .7.04
but i think some thing is error .i now get this when i try to get updates ,

A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:Type 'd' is not known on line 34 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
can you help

you have made an error in the file /etc/apt/sources.list. I warned you to edit it carefully :)

Open the file as i explained before and browse to line number 34, on that line there is an error which you have to resolve.
