Hi, welcome to the forum!!

I assume you want the newest version of gamers, 1.4...

I reccomend to use the torrent to save bandwith:

to get it, use: for torrent:

http://www.tuxdistro.com/torrents-details.php?id=517

or

http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=4527

for mirror:

http://exo.enarel.eu/iso/ubuntu-ultimate-1.4-gamers.iso

or you can just download 1.7, and click the upgrade icon on the desktop to upgrade to gamers:

torrents:

http://www.tuxdistro.com/torrents-details.php?id=849

mirrors:
http://home.paulschou.com/pub/ultimate/
http://downloadubuntusoftware.info/ulti ... -gnome.iso
http://j0nny.net/uu/ultimate-edition-1.7-gnome.iso
http://exo.enarel.eu/mirror/ultimate-ed ... -gnome.iso

just so you know, the 1.7 links were for gnome only... if you want gnome and kde just ask ;)

vinca is right, just hit the Upgrade Icon if you got bandwidth.
For those stuck in dial-up land, either use The links from vinca's post, or Linux CD.org has 1.6 Gamers available to purchase for $6 + shipping.

just make sure you didn't download ultimix, a distro commonly mistaken for ultimate edition otherwise you'll be dissapointed

have you tried safe graphics mode?
what are your computer's specifications?
