Help: Wubi with windows 7

Hi all
Since I´m getting more and more into linux I got the idea that I should start dualbooting on the family laptop.
First I downloaded wubi to dualboot Ubuntu with Windows 7 home premium on an Acer Aspire laptop.
Then I restarted and looked forward for Ubuntu but the screen is almost black.
I can barely see some ad about "excellent apps" but not enough to be able to do anything about it.
Beside being a newbie and computerlexic, what´s my issue?
Thanks in advance!

It's probably a display driver issue. I'm not sure exactly how you could fix it since Ubuntu needs to install to get the correct drivers installed. Do you get any kind of boot up options at all that you can see?

Try updating your BIOS to latest version and try? Ive seen similar errors solved due to bios update
