Daniel, I appreciate your help. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do what you advise. I'm also now pretty leery of Ubuntu. I've been using it since the 7.10 version in a dual-boot set up on three machines: a Micron ClientPro Desktop, an IBM ThinkPad laptop, and recently, a Dell vostro laptop. The 9.10 version killed the sound on all three; unfortunately, I put it on all three machines before I realized the sound was dead.
So, my question now is: how do I remove Ubuntu completely? By the way, I'm not totally computer-illiterate: I've programmed in Fortran, C and Java, and managed a major web site (with Microsoft software).
