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

Can someone help me delete a file from Window XP?

I downloaded the Ubuntu Linux Live CD ISO. The file size is almost 700MB. It was saved in my desktop. So I rightclicked on it, and clicked delete. Then went to the Recycle bin, right clicked on the ISO of Ubuntu (700MB) and clicked delete. But did this REALLY delete it from my computer? Because I don’t want to use up the Diskspace of 700. If not, what other way can you delete this file? Thanks.
