It is possible to convert from WUBI to a full installation I know since I did it with my laptop that had no CD drive to do a normal install from and this seemed to be the next best way since it had windows on it to start with.

NO. The only program that can open a MSWMM (Microsoft Windows Movie Maker) file is the Windows Movie Maker program.
A MSWMM file name extension means the file is still in project form. Until the MSWMM file is exported/published/finished in a Standard viewing format, it can't be read, edited, emailed, uploaded or burned to CD/DVD.
How do you read or open sqlite files?
SQLite files can be read by downloading an SQLite database application. You can visit SQLite's download page to download an appropriate package for Windows, Linux, or Mac OSX to read and modify SQLite files. Normally, you will not need such an application, as SQLite is often embedded into another application, such as a web browser. In this case, opening the file directly is not advised, since damaging the SQLite file will render its contents inaccessible to the application that uses that file.

How do you install ubuntu on windows based computer?
A quick and relatively easy method of getting Ubuntu Linux - if you already have a Windows system and you want to run Ubuntu Linux on it - is to download Ubuntu and install it by using the Wubi (the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) from this Ubuntu web site: http://wubi-installer.org You can use the Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) to download and install Ubuntu Linux in Windows and this is very similar to installing any software program in Windows. One of the great benefits of using the "Wubi Installer" is that you can also uninstall Ubuntu Linux from Windows if you need to (in the same way as you uninstall any Windows program). When you use the "Wubi Installer", you DON'T have to do the following steps (that you would "typically" need to do) to install the Desktop version of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system: download a Linux ISO file burn the Linux ISO file to a Linux CD set up your computer to boot from CD boot with the Linux CD to run Linux "Live" and get to the GNOME desktop double-click on the "Install" icon to start the installation routine run the Ubuntu Linux installation routine Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: The Wubi Installer is only used to install the Desktop (not Server) Edition of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system - and not on a new or used computer system that doesn't have Windows already installed on it. All of the "download, burn, setup, and so on" steps listed above will be described shortly in upcoming sections. The Ubuntu Linux installation steps described above are required to install the Desktop and Server Editions (versions) of Ubuntu Linux - either on a computer system that has Windows (to create a Dual-Boot Windows / Linux system) or one that doesn't have Windows Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: Keep in mind that prior to installing Ubuntu Linux (or any Linux distro) on an existing Windows system, you need to do a complete backup of your Windows system - twice! Also make sure that you can use the backups that you have created to restore your Windows system from backup.

What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit on an Ubuntu machine?
64 bit is recommend if you have a 64 bit processor because 64 bit is usually better at multitasking. Also if you have over a certain amount of ram a 32 bit system cannot access it all. You will most likely not notice much difference between them.
Technically 32bit means that chuncks of data are stored in files that are sized in 32 bit groups 64 bit just uses 64 bit groups.
The main value of Ubuntu (and other open source, linux type operating systems) is the freedom from propriety, such as found with Microsoft and Apple.
