I have now updated to MDM 1.0.8 but the issue is still there. Now when I logon each time the normal Cinnamon desktop still doesn't appear. I think I may be seeing the compatibility mode desktop because .....

I then tried installing LM13 and when I booted from the DVD there was just a Blue Screen. The menu would appear but when I selected a menu item a blue window appeared with a thick fuzzy white border. I was unable to see any contents within the windows so couldn't even start the Installation of LM. I tried rebooting from the DVD but this time selected 'Compatibility' Mode. When it booted the desktop loaded but it was the same desktop I am seeing when I boot into LM14 !!

This would look to me like an issue with the Display Driver. IS there anything further I could try to resolve this? I would really love to be able to use LM rather than going back to Windows or another Linux Distro. I did use Ubuntu about a year ago on the same PC without any issues.
