Unhappy Kubuntu 8.10 problem


I have installed Kubuntu with KDE-4.1 in parallel to Windows XP. Installation went well and i faced no problem in that.

I gave 10 GB for linux installation with ext3 and 1 GB Swap space.

Well when i go to loggin screen and loggin with username and password, i see a screen with KDE-4.1 written at the top and hard disk icon inside and faded icons of screwdrivers and earth. Then my screen hangs there for unlimited time. I have following system specs

1. Intel processor P-iv, 2GHz
2. 80 + 40 GB Hard disk
3. 512 MB RAM
4. Intel 845 Motherboard

How do i get my machine running on Linux as i am fed up of Microsoft MATERIALISTIC behaviour.

Plz Guide me!!

The install media you use was a live CD ?
If so did the LIVE CD runs good ?
Did you do a media check before installing ?
What Graphic card do you use ?
If we can not solve the problem , you can always try the alternate cd of Ubuntu
