What does this mean and what can I do to correct it please?

1278595 2012-05-31 03:51:00 Well, I wouldn't bother with a Wubi install myself as it has been problematic for some.

If you want to have a look a Kubuntu and how it will work on your system you'd be better of downloading a suitable CD image, writing it to a CD or USB flash drive and booting from that as a live session. Then, if you like it, at some stage install it on your hard drive.

The solution to your Wubi problem might be here: ubuntuforums.org

1278597 2012-05-31 05:38:00 If you really want to use Wubi then yes, download the ISO manually and install from there.

However, I also suggest you don't use Wubi as it cause more problems than it solves.
