What do you see when you open the terminal?
do you see a commandprompt like

Code:

user@netbook$

or something like that?
What is the game she wants to play?
Is it on the internet?

What happens when you type

Code:

dpkg

and then hit enter at the commandprompt?

i press ctrl alt F1 which gets me to what i presume is a dos screen it is black with the cursor flashing there is nothing written on it at all, the game she wants to play is on the internet its called habbo hotel which needs the flash player to run. im sorry if im getting on peoples nerves for not knowing anything about linux.

Do you have a login and password?
try to use them at the commandprompt.

I have looked or info on the internet about this OS, but i'm unable to find information, except fot the users manual, which isn't very helpfull.
I hope someone here uses the netbook, and can give some help.

Just a thought:
Do you have flash enabled in the browser?
No addons, like noscript .... ?

I would also like to know the answer for this one. I tried to install adobe 10. It crashed... using gbedi 0.5.9. installer. ubuntu 9.1 maybe a little to much for me right. Will Fedora be more for plugins for common web browsing?
