Which video does your system have?

What is the last information printed on the screen before the hang?

I cant remember exactly but something like: 

Starting installer... 

or 

Now loading installer...

I do know that it is the very last message b4 the GUI comes up. 



I have a trident CyberBlade Ai1 AGP(42) video card

I would recommend trying the 7.3 release. Its available for free download and
has alot of fixes.
