    Blackbackground with Version Number

    After installing (clean install) the 32 Bit Vista and trying the
    64-bitversion it boots up as if the installation went 100% through. Shows
    the boot screen and everything. Once here it restarts once, and returns to
    the same position. My Screen remains black with a mouse cursor and the
    version in the bottom right hand corner (Windows Vista (TM) Beta 2 Build
    5384. I am instailling vista using the Silicon SATA connection. the
    Alt-cntl-del buttons don't work, nither do the windows quick keys. Any
    suggestions?

    Try removing the other gfx card you have. Vista beta 2 doesnt do SLI.
