Hi Carl,

Usually it just installs and dual boots and works
properly with virtually no grunt work. But a few
percent of the computers out there don't work that
way.

But one thing you might try before giving up is a
different release of Kubuntu. If you are using 7.10,
try 7.04 or vice versa. They have significant
differences.

Also, when changing your video resolution, use the
system-settings monitor and display applet, and click
"administrator mode". Otherwise your settings will
only be temporary. And don't install third-party video
drivers until you've gotten good at undoing changes :)

Cheerful regards,

Bob

P.S. If your computer is screaming fast and you have
tons of ram, you might try installing VMWare server or
player and try Linux virtually for a while.
