The laptop doesn't sound too bad although Xubuntu might be more efficient, I am a little confused as to whether you are purposely trying to install it only through windows b/c you said something about editing your bios. It may just be easier to install Ubuntu directly, im sorry I may not be too much help as I have never actually used Wubi. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 3:35 PM, Dan Maney <<a href="mailto:dmaney@nc.rr.com">dmaney@nc.rr.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, when I try to open / run disc, window opens requesting what should firefox do with this program. When I try to open Wubi icon, window opens stating program already open, do I want to uninstall.
