Hi all, 
I have a problem with my old laptop and I´m afraid there´s not much that can be done about it. 
Despite that I´d like to ask around as I really want to know what it´s about.
The laptop is a Medion Akoya E6222 and it´s about ten years old.
It came with WIN 7 installed at the time. Later I set up dual boot: WIN 7 and Lubuntu.
As both OS´es have reached EOL (WIN 7 a long time ago) I now wanted to abandon dual boot and set up Linux Lite 6.4 as the only OS. I downloaded the respective ISO and put it on my ventoy stick.
I haven´t used the laptop for a long time and wanted to go about installing LL now.
Yet I ran into massive problems 
:
LL from the ISO wouldn´t boot as a live system.
Trying to boot, it drew some weird output on the black screen:
1[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^
[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^

[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^
and so on.
So it´s this
wmi: failed to parse WDG method
message I´d like to ask about. What might it point to 
BTW:
I also tried to boot some other live systems on my ventoy stick, like Linux Mint, Bodhi Linux etc.
It was pretty much the same with them. 
Neither could I log into my already installed Lubuntu. It wouldn´t accept all of my keyboard input at the login screen.
Does anyone have a clue about what´s going on
Thanks for your help in advance and many greetings
