i got a copy of ubuntu and when i try to boot from the cd it keeps taking me to an error page....i was told that it was my processor but i cant figure out what to do

Computer make, Model, and specs? Version of Ubuntu? Exact Error Message? http://www.linux.com/forums/topic/2362?fid=1 Happy Trails.

its an Acer Aspire with Vista Home Premium, intel dual core processor and its unbuntu 7.02 i think, now the error message i dont remember ill have to try to boot it again

Try getting a more recent of Ubuntu pyromaniac. 7.02 is probably a bit too old now for your hardware.

As proopnarine said, get a more recent version. The current version, 8.10, seems to work well with most hardware. I have had the best luck with it on laptops to get the wi-fi working "out-of-the-box".

Thanks for everything....i finally got a new copy and it works just fine
