Current Issues

Will not read or play VCD
Problem that exists on both on-board and external keyboard.When i press the up, left or right arrow keys, a window pops up of a screenshot of the desktop, prompting me to save or cancel. The same thing happens when I hit Del Home PgUp PgDn, End. However, pressing the Windows Key and the corresponding above mentioned keys will work.
If I forget to press the Windows key may system hangs with all the Take Screenshot popups that appear.
I have tried setting System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layout Options > Misc Compatibility Options > Shift & Numpad keys work as in MS Windows, and it worked the first time I set it. However, after reboot the effect was gone, although the option is still selected.
IrDA port does not work (although fully functional when it was running Winxp)
SD Card reader driver not available
Modem driver not available

Notes

One of the bigger problems encountered was how to install the updated driver for Nvidia. This was solved by installing Envy (http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html) and letting it do the work.
Encountered problems when setting up VPN connection to a Windows Server, could do so on a wired connection but not on wireless. Problem was solved by following directions found here (http://customisinglife.wordpress.com/2006/11/20/vpn-connection-in-edgy/), while noting entry about network-manager here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager) under "Configuring Devices".
