Ubuntu Failed X Server

[TurtleInTraining]

I just installed Ubuntu via Wubi on my Dell E1505 and got an error it states:
"Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface). It is likely it is not set up correctly."
I searched the web and got some result, most people with this problem said that entering "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or manualy editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf would solve the problem, however I do not know how/where to type the command or how/where locate the xorg.conf file.
These are the specs of my machine:
Intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz CPU
100GB HDD
2GB RAM
ATI x1400 256MB GPU
Windows XP Media Center
Any help is appreciated.

yeah but i get no response from the terminal
when i type anything and press enter it goes straight to another line

What verison of Ubuntu did you install?

unfortunately to this day ATI and Linux still have crappy driver support


I suggest you do an apt-get update then an apt-get upgrade to see if the latest updates will fix your issue.

I'm not sure what version it was, whatever version that Wubi downloaded. I think to get to terminal I had to press ctrl-alt-F1 which I didn't do but right now I am downloading version 7.04 and having Wubi install that version instead of the one that was downloaded. I uninstalled it thinking it woudn't work but I think I may give it another shot.
Thanks for everyones help thus far.
