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.
