Rep:
Can you provide more info like which Linux distribution and which version you are using? IIRC, Aspire One is a netbook. Therefore it might be running a netbook specific distro which might be why you get the nautilus error. Also mention whether you have access a terminal on your system.
bret381 is right. Iuse a Linpus Linux Lite with version 1.0.21.E.
I have access to terminal but i don't know most of the codes used in corrections and configurations. I'm new to linux.
For further question, I'll be waiting to reply.

Thanks Mirchichamu. I did check that link but it didn't help much. I ran that command "ismod" with and without the question mark but i got a reply, "bash: ismod: command not found"
Is there any futher way you could be of help? Thanks again.
also you need to be root to use that command - if they installed in on the computer.
and you will find that linpus light is the #1 WORST distro in the world
the ONLY software that will NOT kill it is on the limpus web site
DO NOT DO NOT install ANY fedora 8 rpm's on it
it was incompatible with -- the now retired/dead fedora8-- and any of the fedora8 rmp's floating around might cause the computer to NEVER BOOT AGAIN!!!
I would get a copy of a ubuntu "netbook" install disk and remove limpus light from the Aspire laptop

Thanks guyz but when it seems nothing was working, even though your efforts were helpful one way or the other, I eventually installed windows. Thanks a lot guys.
