Have reistalled 10.04.4 64 bit from disk that seems to bring up the normal graphic display will now try to upgrade tp 12.04 and see what happens I may have had 32 bit installed before.

The required additional drivers load in version 11.04 so you need to have that version loaded in order to upgrade to 12.04 and have it run properly.
