Video Problem WMV

[Clark]

Canonical CD, root/etc/apt  is exactly the same as my root/etc/apt at 
30.3 KB.  Perhaps the problem lies elsewhere?  Canonical also has an 
empty folder called sources.list.d ( 4KB).  Had a look at some files in 
apt with kate and I now see where  the # symbol and comment issue 
arises.  Incidentally are these files here for a backup purpose, their 
names: secring.gpg ;  sources.list ; sources.list.distUpgrade ; 
sources.list.save and some others.

The following is a few lines from sources.list:

deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1)]/ 
gutsy main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
# deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe multiverse 
main restricted

I am reluctant to take any high risk options as at least I can still use 
Firefox. Looks like I start again with a reload but before I do can you 
tell me if there is a Ubuntu version that is a) stable b) supported  as 
Gutsy 7.10 seems to be neither and if I am going to dump and download 
(at 1.5 meg it will be slow) I'd be better served with a long term 
support, stable distribution.
