Dennis, You seem to be doing something different than I think we are accustomed to. WUBI is designed to install inside of a directory of you XP system. This would be analogous to running Windows inside of a folder in a Linux system using WINE. Since I am only running Ubuntu on my system I am unable to test and duplicate what you are seeing. A couple of the PLUGgers are running Windows and probably can address that more specifically. The previous responses to you seem to presume you are booting from a Live CD version of Ubuntu. I am presuming that is not the case. Have you looked at this page? http://www.howtoforge.com/wubi_ubuntu_on_windows Is your procedure following these steps? If not where is your different? Do you have a Ubuntu Live CD? How does your system behave when you boot from it. Bottom line, I think is more information on process and environment is needed. The alternative is for us to try and read between the lines and guess.

Seams if I hit Esc before it starts booting Ubuntu I can get an edit screen like that from your link "For Installed Systems That Need Adjustment". Is that where I add that "acpi=off"?
