unstable system 11.04 natty

Asked by Ben-Oni

dear sir/madam,

Although the perfect help of someone of you my system (11.04 natty) feels like still unstable. when i try to start an application like google chrome he gives (sometimes) a blank screen. And when my computer is on screensaver and I want to return to my desktop he gives often a white screen.

And also my version has not the look and feel of version 11.04 natty. Whats going wrong?

(I am not an experienced user of Ubuntu)

Please can you help me with this issue. I have updated this version with my update manager.

Kind regards,

Ben-Oni

Are there any bugs reported. You could try disabling the screensaver in the interim.
