Hey gang.

Just installed the beta on a separate partition on my harddrive, so I am running both media center edition (primary) and Vista Beta (H:, or something). I am able to boot into the safe mode of Vista Beta, but when I try to boot into regular or normal mode, I get past the screen showing the Longhorn Logo and little load bar, and then there is a small, maybe 2 pixel thin mult-color bar (I thought it indicated video trouble) running across half of my screen toward the top.

Directly after that, the colored bar disappears, and my computer stops responding to any sort of key input, and my monitor displays its "no signal" message.

I tried installing new ATI drivers, but they didn't install correctly, for some reason (they were the Beta versions).

I should also mention that it appears that DDLM (or whatever)-compatible ATI drivers seemed to already have been installed prior to my attempt at updating them.

I also heard there was an issue with the Audigy 2 Value (which I have), so I disabled it via Device manager in safe mode.

If anyone has had this same issue, or if there is a way to fix it, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
