brookshire is still having a problem:

Thanks, I'll try what you say.  I didn't know I could do that.  I'll let you know what happens.

This may sound dumb, but I'm past the point of caring, so do you think I
could format the hard drive from this 8.10 disk?  It's not that hard to
re-install the operating system and download all the updates.  However,
I would still have the problem with the Nvidia graphics card.  I've been
online and looked at possible Ubuntu solutions for the graphics card,
but most of them are beyond my expertise.  I have no idea if I could
yank this card out and install another card from a different
manufacturer.  I've done it many times on a desktop, but never on a
laptop.  What do you think?

> Yes, but you can get to a LiveCd session by putting the 8.10 cd in the cd/dvd-drive and booting up the computer and then choosing the option "Try Ubuntu without changes to the machine"?  I am not sure what to do from there but it feels like a small step forwards, especially as it should allow you to surf with firefox and access all you data.  This guide might help if you have trouble getting that far
