After the second reboot during installation Vista seems to try & load drivers
for a FX5500 but there is no video out (DVI & Analog). Booting into Safe
Mode gives a message saying 'installation has not been completed' and to boot
back into normal mode-but, of course, there seems to be no way to finish the
install without being able to seen the screen. Repeats in three installation
attempts-Vista advisor sees no problem using this card.

I have that card and Vista comes with a WDDM driver for that card. I have
never had a problem getting Vista to install though. If you do get it to
install and get online there it a driver update on Microsoft Update.

Did you find a solution? I am having exact problem with the video onboard
the MSI 945GT speedster motherboard.
