    Try that first but if for some reason it might either be caused by the current running display driver you have for your ATI card or a pill/unlocker might be doing that but I would suspect ATI's drivers first since a lot of drivers do not like beta OSes lol. Try what ODY and Chbaldo said first though.

    Thanks guys. The problem remains though. I'm already in the True color mode, visual effects are the best, and screen resolution is recomended (as what I use previously in Windows 7).

    So it's either ATI driver or Redpill? But I am not aware of any other report from ATI graphic card users... Quite strange.o_O

    Try uninstalling the ATI driver and revert back to how it was before the ATI driver upgrade dude. That might help from there. IK ATI drivers don't yet like Win8, for example you cannot run CCC...at least I cant haha.

    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

    If you can, before before start screen betta fish comes, hit F8 and choose "run windows in low resolution mode" or smthg like that(cannot remember..), just for first time, than you can acces to windows with no problems....

    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.
