2. type cmd in the box and press enter
3. next a window will open (usually black).
4. type in this box the below, exactly.

i gave up on linux when i couldnt work out how to upgrade the graphics card drivers so that i could have the 3d desktop thingy..

i even had instructions!

close x-window and go into the command prompt mode, then it was downhill from there!
