Ok now that your looking :\
Hello. I attempted to install Vista Pre-RC1 Build 5536 on my computer:

ACPI Uniprocessor PC
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3800+
2.40GHZ
1gb of Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE 1024x768 32bit 60Hz
Realtek AC'97 Audio
----------------------------------------------------------

I virtually mounted the iso file, which was verified with the provided md5,
from within windows xp service pack 2. The installation proceeded to the
first two steps, copying and expanding and my system then restarted.After
this restart, installation continued up to "Installing features". This was
the last item to have a check mark showing it was complete. At this time, it
began a countdown for another restart. This time, after proceeding past the
operating system selection screen, the screen would immediately become
entirely black, with no progress bar, without a version in the corner, or a
mouse pointer onscreen. It would remain this way indefinitely. I used my
product key from beta 2, which makes it a windows vista ultimate
installation. I selected the options for it to automatically activate and
install the latest updates online in one attempt and the opposite in another
attempt, with the same result. Any help would be great. Much love

Same problem here.

Athlon 64 3200+
1gb ram
Asus Ati radeon EAX1600pro 512mb

I thought I had the same problem but I got a call and by the time I got
back it had done its thing. I got the same screen a couple more times
but I just left it alone and now I have a functional OS
