Start screen doesn't look like the tutorial...

Greetings! I am brand-spankin’-new to Blender, and after watching a few tutorials I’m already confused. When Blender starts up, all the tutuorials show that it should look like this:

But instead mine looks like this:

How can I make Blender look the way the tutorials say it should?

Thanks in advance!

Go to “File–>Load Factory Settings”

That should fix you up.

I’ve tried that. It still takes me to the second picture.

Thanks

Try updating your graphic card drivers
In User Preferences / System settings try turning on/off VBOs and try the different window draw methods.

I was trying to use Blender on a VirtualBox guest running Ubuntu Studio. Once you mentioned the graphics card I remembered the trouble I’ve been having with audio software as well. It seems emulation is just not the way to go with these things. Running native on OS X and it looks perfect.

Thanks!
