Sorry about the delayt... I've attached a screen shot as you asked. I also would like to give you a little background: I originally installed 14.04 as part of a dual boot system with Windows 7 Professional as the other part.   I then decided to go with 14.04 entirely, so I used an install DVD I had burned.  After installing, grub believs there is still a Windows partition but there isn't one. The missing letters problem also occurs with all the icons on the top right of 14.04. Please let me know how I can be of further assistance. steve jandreau ps- also, I tried to install the driver for the Broadcom Wifi PCI card but so far no luck.
