Hi Christopher, Thank you for your response but I have no problem with "Libre". I have used "Libre" with no problems it seems very much the same as OpenOffice. I didn't even mention it in my complaint. I realise that 10.04 is finishing but it is the only disc that works. I burned 4 12.04 's and none work. They load all the way with a display that looks normal ie the logo and moving dots but when it should switch to the normal  front screen it shows the cursor arrow, flicks off and goes back to the flashing cursor, tries to switch again and keeps repeating this ad infinitum. My biggest problem is activating my ESS ES1869 soundblaster in an ISA bus, the computer shows it in Dmesg. I have made some changes, I had some small hard drives and am using them as slaves dedicated to Ubuntu. I would appreciate some positive feedback, up to now most of the feedback has been wishy washy. I used to be in electronics and though I picked up some PC skills over the years they are mostly microsoft based.
