First boot, and i have THIS! What can I do? Cursor looks nice and moving

I try it, but does nt work. (((( Zorin OS not working!

Do you know what Graphics card the machine has? Or the specs of the machine (Make and Model) that we can look up?

Hi, Asus X59SL. I think this is a very old computer.

The age of the computer should not be an issue, certainly isn't for me.

Looking it up, it dates to about 2009.
Looking up the standard specs lists the graphics as supplied by ATI.

ATI was bought out by AMD.

You were asking about graphics on that Asus model.
I see it is: AMD Mobility Radeon HD 3470 0.25 GB

OK, but what can I do? Hi`s work only with windows 7x32?

Specs ASUS X59SL-AP253C laptop 39.1 cm (15.4") Intel® Core™2 Duo P7350 3 GB DDR2-SDRAM 320 GB AMD Mobility Radeon HD 3470 Windows Vista Home Premium (X59SL-AP253C)

Yes, it HIM!!!!

After the kernel 5.10 regression on RK3588 SoC, did it ever get restored? Zorin OS is on 5.15 at this point...

I dont know about it!!!

Have you checked if your cpu is actually 32bit or 64bit?
Try testing with cpu-z free app (CPU-Z | Softwares | CPUID) if you do not know.

If 32bit, your latest ZorinOS hope is Z15.3 Lite.

CPU-Z, I use this program. But I know, this comp. have 32 bit processor.

ZorinOS hope is Z15.3 Lite. Where is it? Do u have it?

It used to be on Zorin downloads, but seems to have gone when I just looked there.
I see it here though: SourceForge

Z15.3 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 which now does not get updates, except security updates.
There may be other more up-to-date 32bit Linux distro's that others here can suggest, but 32bit distro's are becoming more rare.

According to the page you linked, it is 64bit.

Processor socket Socket 479
Processor front side bus 1066 MHz
Processor lithography 45 nm
Processor operating modes 64-bit
Processor series Intel Core 2 Duo P7000 Series

True.
@sendsay Do check for sure using cpu-z.
If 64bit, you will be better served by ZorinOS (and other Linux distro's).

I have T5800 processor, INTEL says, his have x64 instructions, but win7x64 dont run! I dont know, who if fool, Iam or Asus X59SL))))

Sourceforge, says Page Depricated and dont load!

If you have 64bit cpu you won't need a 32bit OS like Z15.3 Lite, so ignore that. Just test your cpu using cpu-z as I suggested to make sure it is 64bit, then go for Z16.3.

I also suggest you read this pre-installation advice: Before you install

Look on header, OS is runing, but picture not good)) Cursor moving and looks good, and its all.
