OK, so my longhorn beta is loading up just like xp does cept in black and white and then after loading is goes to a black screen and stays their forever, I left he computer on for some time and nothing.

I then installed winxp pro on a different partition and booting up xp was succesful and smooth.

I am not sure what is wrong, My first guess was video drivers, but seing that my videocard is not that new, (2003/04 - nvidia 5700fxLE agp 8.0 ).

Can some one give me some suggestions to getting this to load up properly.
