Thanks to Wesley for the above information!! I have now downloaded the 
BIOS Update but have no idea how to install it?? (I have not tried the 
Live CD test yet)

A second thought - if this update works or not would it not be a better 
plan to buy a separate Graphics Card and install that? In which case 
which card would you recommend that will work with my Mint 10 KDE. I'm 
not a heavy graphics user but would like to get a couple of features 
working - like the rotating cube on the Desktop. I'm not a Gamer but do 
a lot of photographic work on my computer and use Scribus to publish a 
monthly Journal.

Thanks all.
