T234 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.04 (I don't have a CD burner), and I boot the live CD and the screen cuts off the bottom of the installatioin window (where all the buttons are). System specs: 2.4 P4 2 GB RAM Nvidia 6200 The monitor I'm on is a 1024x768 CRT from a compaq presario we bought in 1996 :( Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zivan56 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Isn't there a safe graphics mode when you boot from the CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted April 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2008 A higher version or what? The "alternate" CDs don't do the install from a Live environment. They are traditional Linux install CDs, where you boot it, and it starts the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted April 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2008 If you can still start the installer (by clicking on the desktop icon that says 'install'), then you can install it and it probably will fix the video issue. If a dialogue box is partly off screen, you can hold down the ALT key and then click the mouse to move that dialogue box to where you can see the buttons on that dialogue box (the ones down at the bottom, like 'Next'). I had to do that when installing on my Asus eeePC which has a screen height of 480. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
