Second, when I open Terminal or when certain dialog boxes open, they are
all white with no visible text.  For example, when I went to install the
updates, the dialog box that asked for my password was all white.  I
know what information was wanted only because I had installed updates on
this machine before, and I also run Ubuntu 9 on a MSI WIND netbook - so
I types my password and the updates were downloaded and installed.

After installing the updates, I use CTRL-ALT-F1 to kill the desktop and
return to the command screen.  Once there I saw an error message,
apparently from the boot process, that said: unable to set 1024 x 768
mode, switching to 800 x 600.

Hi Victor

Sorry it's been so long since anyone responded on this.

The first thing to do is reboot and choose rescue mode, then the
'xfix' option and see if that helps.

If not and your symptoms are the the same, then let's see that error
message you mention seeing in a console. From your description I
gather you should be able to find it via System -> Administration ->
Log File Viewer -> dmesg tab, or by typing 'dmesg' in a terminal.
