Norton GoBack was the problem, Wubi installed just fine after disabling it. I will have to see what happens when I turn it back on. I do get a red warning on my monitor when booting & shutting down: Out Of Range 46 KHz 87 KHz 1280x1024 I help a lot of people use & troubleshoot windows software so I can't quite give up on windows yet :-( Thanks!!!
