Linux help?

Hey everyone. I’m having an issue while trying to boot off the live cd I downloaded and burned. I am able to run it on my desktop just fine but when I try to load it on my laptop my screen turns weird. What will happen when I boot is: the ubuntu welcome screen comes up asking me what I would like to do. I choose start ubuntu and hit enter and then a quick message flashes on the top that says “bios bug #81 found” after that the OS starts initializing and during all the system checks I notice another error that reads “error micro code: bcm43xx_microcode5.fw” After that a black grid comes up on the screen and covers the entire screen while a blue/grey blob glows and gets really bright and then slowly fades until the screen is completely blank. Has anyone had this problem or know how I can fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated and the specs on my laptop are on this link:

Linux Live CD Help?

Is there a version of linux live cd, bootable from cd, that comes preconfigured with software that will allow me to remote desktop into a windows xp pro workstation?

The preference is to not have to install any new software on the xp pro workstation.

Thank you
