It does the same thing on my box. Go to your start menu and under accessories select terminal. That's the easiest way to get to a terminal.

Honestly, I have no idea!! Did you install video drivers via envyng? Do you have a custom compiz settings that you have set up an effect using those keys? I'm clueless.... that is very strange. I do it and it will drop me to command prompt and then back in using the CNTRL+ALT+F7 :shock:

I'm not sure what the deal is I know ctrl alt f1-f6 pulls up cty and f7 brings me back to desktop i've never had a problem with it not working before I can use the desktop terminal i was just wondering if there is a fix or something I don't think its a video issue the motherboard has onboard video. could try to reinstall Ultimate Edition after husband gets home next week if i cant find a fix by then

I like your since of adventure, but its just as easy to play with terminal within a GUI inviroment. I actually prefer it -you get eye candy in the background, and you can shake the hell out of the window and watch it wobble ;) - heck what is more adventuresome than having a nice outdoor wallpaper on the desktop and turn on the rain!?
