My comment to you, which seems to brindle your pride, is that it made no
sense to complain about a version of Ubuntu two versions old comparing
it to the latest Fedora version. So I wrote that you should install the
latest version of Ubuntu before you complain about a weird specialty
hardware problem, ~especially if you are a newbie~. Especially when the
vast majority of us have moved on to Lucid, at least. It is the LTS
version, ergo hopefully more solid for the long haul. And, your problem
just might magically go away. Since you could get your hands on the
latest version of Fedora, is there some obstacle in your path that keeps
you from installing Lucid? If so, please tell.  

What is your problem with that?? How does that discourage you? Are you
THAT sensitive? I think my suggestion was most reasonable, especially
after you ignored the more technical advice offered to you. I figured
you could handle simple and go from there. But, if you want the list to
hold hands in a circle and sing Kum-by-yah around your computer, take a
hint, ...it's not likely to happen. 

No one gets paid here. Ask a question, get an answer. Ignore answer...
you get the picture. Mainly we're here to enjoy helping out. That ~is~
the "Philanthropic" part. Canonical has zero to do with it, as far as
what we post in response to YOUR problems. If you refuse to take the
advice offered, it's no victory for Windows nor a defeat for Ubuntu.
Meanwhile, your "PD" is probably still blinking. It's on your end to
make it easier for the rest of us to assist you. 

Now, I suggest you wipe that partition clean and install Lucid Ubuntu
fresh. Then see if the problem persists. Do that first. There is no
greater kindness I can offer you, other than that advice. Bitch about
it, and you'll be on my very small ignore list. EOT, Ric
