    Sure. I don't remember what it looked like before I upgraded the ATI driver. I'll try reinstalling 7989 without ATI driver some other day.

    PS CCC is good if you enable .Net Framework 3.5.1 in your system.

    Well no need to reinstall Win8, just remove the ATI stuff from the control panal programs and features. As for CCC even with .NET 3.5.1 it would not work for me lol. It installs but won't ever open haha.

    use compatibiliy mode before installing the driver,
    or install a driver for vista using the compatibility mode for vista

    7989 x64 install fails

    md5 is correct, installs fine in virtualbox
    when installing the install process seems to go fine
    Windows7.jpg

    the progress box like above comes up and completes. there is a reboot then another reboot shortly after. the start screen with the fish comes up then just blackness. any ideas.

    and i have a phenom 2 x4 965 cpu

    i have also tried on different drives

    Where did you get the ISO? It can be possible that something might be wrong with the specific install.wim file in your ISO. Maybe try installing it again like normal to see if it works. It can be compatibility issues bust most likely if you can run Win7 x64 you can run this one.

    Just a clarification:
    1 - installed same build from usb stick on two PC, one faced the black screen after betta fish welcome screen(because 7989 installed a general graphic card driver not right compatible, and the only way is load windows(F8 button to choose which modality to load, low resolution was the right one to get into Windows, and with windows update install properly driver to work on next reboot)
    2- The second computer installation went fine, so it's to exclude iso or install.wim corrupted, neither incompatibility of PC, first I3 second dual core T7100...

    Enable ugly guy with "Ctrl + Alt + Del" Welcome screen:

    To get the CTRL ALT DEL-screen, press WIN + R, type control userpasswords2 and press enter.
    Then check the CTRL + Alt + Del option on the second tab.
