Grandad bee, More likely you have an intel i915 graphics chip in your laptop, which is funky in most distros. I have this one and it caused freezing issues on my laptop in ubuntu and Mint until i found the fix. Its something about kernel mode setting and this chip not being 100% capable of it. If you want to try it again, boot it up from cd, but before you choose Mint/Ubuntu on the menu press whatever the menu says is the edit option and add 'i915.modeset=0' after 'ro' then boot (this works both on both Syslinux and GRUB entries) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
