Sorry Jstagame, you stand a better chance of being helped in the Ubuntu Forums:

http://ubuntuforums.org/

(this is mainly a Mac forum), and if you use periods in your posts (no intention to offend).

Thank you very much.i am deeply sorry.

Wow thats quite passionate.

There is no reason to be "deeply sorry".

You are just learning, as each of us did, at some stage in our lives (and we keep learning all the time).

best way to run ubuntu on windows for new users is http://wubi-installer.org/ it install a virtual disk and boots to that at startup if you choice to.
