startup issues.

External Since: Aug 09, 2007 Posts: 2

Hi,

I'm trying to install Windows Vista and I manage to get it to install using
a PS2 Keyboard (not my normal one) and by unplugging all my usb peripherals
(which caused the installation to pause).

However, when windowws is installed during the boot up it hangs at
the"Microsoft Corperation" screen.

I've included my system specs (below). Many thanks.

Are all other peripherals disconnected as well, assuming they are not USB,
if no, disconnect them as well. Is the system connected to internet or some
broadband modem, disconnect the system from that as well.

Is this an upgrade or clean install. If an upgrade over a previous setup,
it's possible something, some application installed on that setup is causing
the Vista setup to choke.
