Installing Windows Vista

I have successfully installed Vista on my desktop and am testing it - So far
appears to work wonderfully.

I installed Vista on my Laptop (p4 with 512 megs of RAM and an SIS 650 video
chipset) and it gets about half way through the install and the screen goes
blank. After attempting a second reinstall, I was accepting the possibiltiy
that perhaps my laptop just couldn't handle it, when it occured to me to try
the external port. Externally I was able to finish the installation. It
seems to function correctly, except it fails to recognised my internal LC
screen. I figure this is a bug the developers need to know about.
