In the first place I opened recovery mode at the start up, I was reluctant to click 'xfix Try to fix Xserver' because I thought that 'server' is something to do with internet service provider. Then I posted the question on this forum. I read some replies and tried the tips, but I couldn't find the solution. So I resorted back to the recovery mode and clicked 'xfix' just for a see. BINGO!!! It worked!! Wow so much new things to learn. I am still learning Ubuntu and I am sticking to it! Thank you for your attempt to help me solve the problem. Jim
