I just had Windows installed yesterday as a Guest OS and also installed all the utilities I needed. Feeling a bit exhausted, I felt happy to see everything was working with no big issues. It was working all fine until today, at school I was installing this third party utility the school provides to access the school wireless. After installing, it required a reboot, but from then on Windows just freezes directly after the Splash screen comes up and I feel pretty stuck and can really do nothing about it. :/

Has anyone else had this sort of problem, and is there any way to fix it? Thanks!

Fixed it by upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10. Dunno what the real problem is but it works! :)
