    Install hangs at blue-ish screen

    I get to the point where Windows 7 has loaded the initial files and a blue screen (sort of an underwater view looking up at the sun.. if you follow) with the Windows 7 Build 7000 in the bottom right hand corner. The mouse starts to work and the mouse cursor changes to a circle and spins a couple of times, but then stops and changes back to the standard mouse arrow. The DVD drive never spins up during that time. I've created the DVD twice (once at high speed and another at low speed) with no luck. Any idea?

    Problem solved.. I just had to go eat dinner and come back. I guess I didn't have enough patience. BTW, I like it so far.

    How long did it take for it to complete install. I had the same issue and thought it was stuck. I am running a 3g intel and 4 gigs w/ a 256meg PCI ATI card.

    I went off to eat for about 30 minutes so I don't know how long it had to sit there and think. When I came back, it wasn't too bad after that.. 10 to 15 minutes? Q6600 w/2 GB ram.

    Same happened here, first time I tried it took 10min and thought system was hanging. But thinking back I heard my HDD going, so I tried again and made myself a cuppa tea. When I cam back I came into the first install screen. After that it took a long time to get to that second screen again, allmost thought it was hanging again. So in the end it took me nearly an hour to install 7.

    I'm starting to love it, yes! Except for the fact that I still can't get any sound out of it. Anyway, good luck and have fun!

    I just posted about this, sort'of. But yet on my MacBook it took about 15-20 min to install and this is why I decided to give my big RIG a try. Strange/

    sofar I have had little issue with anything that I have tried. I do have issues at the moment with the system seeing other local networks. But thats more of a config issue rather than a system issue.Because I sometimes work remotely I need citrix to load and sofar it hasn't. Java has also been an issue. Sofar I have not had to load a driver for my ATI X1050. But then again I haven't really delved into it either. For my next trick I am going to start load programs (mostly 32bit unless I can find some safe freebies out there.) Photoshop being on and then Office.

    Windows 7 Hangs on upgrade

    I'm getting a similar hang - I downloaded the R2M dated 8/24 and started to upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Flew through the first 4 steps and got to the "Transferring files, settings, and programs". The indicator says it's 63% done and I've waited 12 hours. Doesn't seem to be any disk activity (can't be sure).

    My system uses an Intel DG43NB motherboard, q6600, 4Gb memory, Seagate 1.5Tb disk, NVidia 9800.

    There isn't any indication of a problem, but I am thinking I should roll back to Vista and wait for a service pack. Anyone run into this?
