Using the Ubuntu CD I downloaded, I was able to

After restarting I have the option to run WindowsXP or
Ubuntu. I chose Ubuntu, but instead of getting the easy to navigate
GUI, I get the following after logging in:

username@ubuntu:~$

Is there a way to have a graphical user interface instead of the
command line?

I suppose there is a problem with your video card because usually the
GUI should start automatically. As it doesn't start, there should be
something in the log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". Probably it would be
the easiest way to use the Ubuntu LiveCD to access that file and post it
here.
