Linux Lite 3.6 - Can not get past Login

[jossdickie]

I am trying to migrate my Mum's old computer from Windows XP over to Linux but am finding it impossible due to the last antivirus programme discontinuing supporting XP.

After spending a great deal of time researching the issues I am going to have to abandon the idea!

I download of Linux Lite 3.6 image file burnt it using ImgBurn, verified it using the same programme and checked the performed an md5sum check which showed the same long number string.

When booting from the Linux Live 3.6 DVD and choosing Start Live a login screen appears in the centre of a turquoise coloured screen.  At the top of the login window it says: Other...

For the Usernames I have tried: linux, ubuntu, admin all the the Password left blank.

I have tried all of the above as a Username and Password.

None of them will allow me to progress past the Login window.

Sometimes after pressing Enter the Login window disappears and is replaced by a mouse symbol and then returns to the Login window.  Other times after the mouse symbol it goes blank and then returns to the Login window.

Why does it need to be logged in where as other Linux versions do not?

Why is there not a direct install to Hard Drive option as with other Linux versions?

The idea was to install a small version of Linux which uses as little resources as possible as the computer is old and slow.  After tyring Lubuntu yesterday and finding no support for the graphics I have no option but to abandon my idea of any Linux and reluctantly install Windows 7  :-(

Which ever 'genius' decided to include the necessity to have to Login in when starting Linux Lite 3.6 Live has not done the version any favours and has done Linux a disservice.

Is is no wonder that Microsoft Windows became so successful as it is so simple to just install it and go without unnecessary time wasting pointless hassle!!

I am frustrated very and disappointed.

There's many ways to ask for help, being disrespectful is not one of them. Locked.
