Splash screen is displayed, machine freezes. Nothing in the other desk tops.
Sometimes I can mouse to other features, but response is slow, if at all. Task manager reports (among other threads)

It seems to be waiting for something to happen, but it never does. After many, many installs I can say that 2.4 and 2.5 work., 2.6 loads but doesn't work, 2.7 doesn't load. I am now convinced that it is hardware that is the problem. I ordered a refurb win7 era machine to replace it. I might have been able to get some kind of work around from the Ubuntu people, but it is a tired old machine that has already seen repairs. Tomorrow I suspect that things will resolve. It is hard to support every chip set, and the older they get, the more likely there will be problems. I should be happy that I got around 5 years out of a computer from the dump.
