I made an additional test on the computer described in post #94. Wanted to see if the cd-rom w/ the ISO file for U-9.10 would run after changing the Visual Effects menu in U-9.04, which is in use on the computer.
Booted the computer from the hard disk. Went to:
System - Preferences - Appearance - Visual Effects.
Chose the "none" option. Rebooted the system using the U-9.10 cd-rom. Chose the "Try Ubuntu without change to your computer" option. It loaded and ran fine. No freeze up.
Went to the System - Preferences - Appearance - Visual Effects menu and changed the option from "none" to "normal". It froze within seconds.
It seems that the setting on U-9.04 carries over to the ISO test version. If changed to "normal" the computer locks up...
