Vista - Black screen after install

Installation appears to have completed finally; however, the screen is black.
The mouse cursor is present and the build info is in the lower right corner.
There is no display, and there is no response when I right click on the
screen. Safe mode appears to be just fine. Any help?

How long have you been at this Black screen? For me, it usually last 15 to
30 seconds, maybe you just need to hold on a bit. If setup becomes non
responsive, do a cold boot, Start the computer, when the Windows Boot
Manager is displayed, select Windows Setup press F8 on your keyboard and
setup should continue.

I found it is a problem with Nvidia driver for 6600GT. Uninstalling the video
drivers and rebooting helps, but it is really annoying to have to go to safe
mode each time. Any suggestions?

I don't have any other suggestions. I would recommend reporting the cause of
the problem though to nVidia and Microsoft:

I have a similar problem, Ive tracked it down to how the boot manager
intialises the video, but I havent come up with a fix.

I have a dual headed system and the primary boot video device is an old SIS
305 card. Boot manager seems to put it into a very low resolution vertical
frequency ( or a very high one) as my 2 LG LCD screens cant handle it, I
connected an old multi sync monitor and I could see the boot manager menu but
it looked like it was overscanning. If any body from microsoft reads this,
may I sugest that you get boot manager to use only standard modes at boot
time ie ones supported by INT 10, I understand if you are tringing to get it
working on TV devices but then can I sugest 320x200.

I hope this helps
