I downloaded three versions of LINUX. The first being LINUX mint 4 and the second being PCLINUXOS. The live CD of mint ran perfect, it also looked good. Next I tried PclinuxOS, I didn't like the looks and feel of this version so much as mint. Once I finished evaluating I restarted my computer only to find a lot of horizontal lines coming down the screen when the first pictures came up, they're the logos for the motherboard and the first Windows logo, then they cleare once windows is up and running. I have tried all kinds of things to correct this problem, including putting another hard drive in and reinstalling windows with service Pack 2. I then downloaded a third version of LINUX called simplyMEPIS. This version would not load because something had changed in my computers setup, it did advise me to run Windows service Pack 2 again. Already done. Does anyone have any idea what may have happened and what I can do to rectify it. Any help would be appreciated.
