Hi,

start in recovery mode and run "dpkg" per this guide and see if it helps (Network cable connection required!):

I dit try to install zorin 6.3 that went out of the box.
Is there a terminal command to see what's in my pc?
Zorin 9 won't run on the live cd also.

If you still have your 6.3 disc boot into that live, go to Menu | System Tools | System Settings then see what comes up in 'Details'

Hi,

what graphics card do you have, it doesn't show in the list?.

Paste the following terminal command and paste the results here please:

Code:: lspci

This will give you a readout like the pic below and it is in the "VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1)" part we are interested in:

Hi,

open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) and paste the following command and then restart and see if you still have the same problem:

Code:: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Also run a full system update after restarting (another restart required if anything updates!) and check out the very first part of this thread if windows go black/white on you:
