[ubuntu-uk] Installing Ubuntu using wubi on Vista Home machine.....

[James Milligan]

You need to install the VirtualBox additions - it's in one of the  
menus at the top of the screen whilst you're running the VM. It mounts  
a disk inside the VM which will install all o the necessary drivers.

Good luck!
