black screen after install

Installation appears to have completed finally; however, the screen is black. The mouse cursor is present and the build info is in the lower right corner. There is no display, and there is no response when I right click on the screen. Safe mode appears to be just fine. Any help?

How long have you been at this Black screen? For me, it usually last 15 to 30 seconds, maybe you just need to hold on a bit. If setup becomes non responsive, do a cold boot, Start the computer, when the Windows Boot Manager is displayed, select Windows Setup press F8 on your keyboard and setup should continue. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

I found it is a problem with Nvidia driver for 6600GT. Uninstalling the video drivers and rebooting helps, but it is really annoying to have to go to safe mode each time. Any suggestions?

I don't have any other suggestions. I would recommend reporting the cause of the problem though to nVidia and Microsoft: For Feedback: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=55160

I have a similar problem, Ive tracked it down to how the boot manager intialises the video, but I havent come up with a fix.
I have a dual headed system and the primary boot video device is an old SIS 305 card. Boot manager seems to put it into a very low resolution vertical frequency ( or a very high one) as my 2 LG LCD screens cant handle it, I connected an old multi sync monitor and I could see the boot manager menu but it looked like it was overscanning. If any body from microsoft reads this, may I sugest that you get boot manager to use only standard modes at boot time ie ones supported by INT 10, I understand if you are tringing to get it working on TV devices but then can I sugest 320x200.
I hope this helps
