    Hey NBR forums,

    I am upgrading a desktop computer to Windows 7. It is easily capable of running Windows 7, but I can post specs if needed. I set it up so I could dual-boot into either Vista or 7 (on different drives). When I bott into 7, I get the startup screen with the moving window panes, but after that it goes black and the monitor goes to sleep. If I put it into Safe Mode, it tells me (with display) that I can't finish installation in Safe Mode and to restart. Any suggestions?
