Yeah, the live CD version is slower than a full installation, in part because it has to load every programme off the CD drive, and also because there's no HDD swap space available, and RAM is a lot tighter than on a regular system.
Other than how it looks (and I also dislike the default brown), why else have you decided not to install it? What would it take for you to use Ubuntu instead of Windows?
I'm not criticising, I'm just curious

Apologies, I didn't mean to patronise.
It does sound like a corrupt CD though -- the ISO should definitely be bootable by just burning it in Nero -- no patches need be applied.
Out of curiousity, can your computer able to boot from other CDs? I know some (older) BIOS/drive combinations can have trouble with this.
