Other wise i couldnt imagine what your problem is graphics maybe since Mint went there own way
I am typing this using Zorin 6.4 (Working fine) If I can handle the differences.

My Mint12 LTS, 32bit & 64bit install, but it has decided to work terrible with my video card.
If it was a photo I would say that it was full of scratches and noise.
I have to go on my previous distro install memory during install, because I cant read any of the instructions.

I have tried several Ubuntu based distros.
Lubuntu13.10, & 14.04 (They installed and worked but I don't like desktop)
Kubuntu12.04.4 (It installed and worked but I don't like the desktop)
Ubuntu 14.04 (It installed and worked but I don't like the desktop)

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ( Terrible video)
Mint Mate 13 (Terrible video)

This acer laptop came to me from the shop (12 months ago) with win8 installed. I burned it out and installed win7.

I would have thrown windows away ages ago but I need it for DesignCAD and Photoshop cs6. I use them both a lot.
Unfortunately 'Libre Office Draw' doesn't match DesignCad and although I still happily use Gimp. The more I learn about cs6, the more it seems capable of.

I find it strange that Win7 still installs and runs fine, while I am having
trouble with "some" linux.

So I suppose I will study Zorin for a while. Unless some-one can come up with a better idea.
