Troubles with Ubuntu

[Motherland]

Trying to get my Ubuntu partition working well again, after giving up a few months ago. Have a couple weird problems;

First of all, I can't mount the Local Disc. I don't know why, but it gives me an error when I try. I'll post the message it's giving me later/tomorrow, as I'm running XP right now.
Second, I'm having several display problems. Originally the main problem was that images were being distorted in Firefox. I don't know what that's all about. Now I have another, more annoying problem... I was trying to run Aces High through Wine, and it changed my screen resolution to... I guess 800x780 or whatever. When Aces High failed to start up completely (still having a hell of a time with Wine), I had to manually reset my resolution to 1680x1050... and when I did, all text became very blurry... not to the point where I can't read it, but it's extremely annoying.

Other than that, I'm still can't get barely anything to run with Wine, but I think that's something I can eventually solve on my own.

If your text is blurry, try reducing Anisotropic filtering in your video card settings.

I have the drivers, but I can't seem to find the nVIDIA control panel. I don't think Ubuntu is able to use it.

I think that your problem is wine not being able to handle 1680x1050 in reality so it just scales up a lower resolution image.

Go to applications->add / remove applications. Run a search for nvidia and select NVIDIA X-SERVER SETTINGS from the resulting list.

After that, the Nvidia x-settings app will be in your system->administration menu

One other thing:

Before you do anything with your video settings, back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. If you screw up, you can always roll back to the original file from a console window.
