Vista - loss of video input signal when booting into vista rc1

Hey, what's up?...

I start up the computer with the vista beta rc1 and everythings good til I
get asked if I want to boot from the cd... press any key. Well, I push the
space bar and I lose my video imput into my 17" Acer LCD. I can hear the cd
running rapidly like you would normally hear her purr when under the stress
of booting from a DVD.

This is my system:
-Core 2 Duo E6300
-Intel DG965WH
-2x 1gb Samsung PC4300
-geforce 7300 LE pcie

The intel mobo has built-in video, but I don't think that should be causing
the problem. When I run the windows upgrade advisor it says i'm good all the
way to ultimate. I currently have windows xp installed on the same machine.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Killerbunny,

Do you have the external card set as the primary video card? This is usually
done in the BIOS of your system.
