Alternatively, if you're in the majority that don't care about "free as in freedom" and just want "free as in beer" you can get a lot of codecs and other such stuff Ubuntu is otherwise missing with...
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras
In terminal. This will give you flash, java, MP3 and a few common video codecs. If you're having screen resolution problems, then that might take a bit more fiddling. You've had a look in
System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
I take it? :-)
