XP PRO Setup Freezes on Display

Souluna · 11-22-2006

Hey all,

been trying to get this XP Pro to install and ive tried it twice and each time it gets to "Windows is detecting optimal resolution" or something like that and freezes, my keyboard or mouse wont wont and if i reset it will try to log in and will sit at the login say "Applying User Settings" for god knows how long..
anyone know why this might be?

Cheers

Can you manage to eventually get in, and is having a password set on this pc critical?

if i reset my pc while its sitting on the Display settings, i get to the logon screen, i can login but if i try and open the Display Properties it freezes..
ill try to reinstall with a different graphics card..

Ok, get back if you encounter problems.

ok, i tried it with a fx5200 and a 7600 and both get the same problem..
i have reformatted with a radeon 9250 and no problems at all....
only nvidia cards are playing up (also i know these 2 cards work fine)..
i have tried to install nvidia drivers but they wont install because they cant find an nvidia piece of hardware..
could there be any settings in bios that could change this? because i have used this same copy of windows to install onto this pc with an nvidia card before.. the only change from before is my new motherboard...

sorry to write so much
