Is this an official DVD? The only Ubuntu DVDs I were aware of where user-created (but I can't say I follow Ubuntu too closely).

If it isn't official, I would suggest trying to download an official release and attempt to install with that instead.

Ok I re-checked it and I did downloaded it from the web-homepage using Bittorrent.. http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php.
Now I tried it again last night and went to the text install (don’t quite know what the difference was it installed not prompting me with text but a gui). None the less I installed it then tried loading it up same problem... it gets to the second screen.. First screen being the choices kubuntu/windows xp ect.. Second was the Kubuntu logo and the blue 5 or six short lines (I ges it is to show that it is loading) yet noting happens it gets locked up there. Am I using the wrong version (I don’t think so because I know that my pc is not amd64 it is amd/athlon.. well any ides would be appreciated.
