on my computer. Because of the MSDN updates i only kepp the newes DVDs. Now i
want to reinstall Win Server2003 at the same computer, and after a while the
screen is empty. Nothing to see. What can i do?

You'll have to give us something more than "screen is empty" to go on.

Hello Dave,

Setup formats the disk, copies the files, shows "Installation from windows"
on the left side, and then the screen becomes black. The former Version of
Windows Server 2003 Standard (from CD) run's well on the same computer until
yesterday.

I'ts the same as at the end of last year. I tried first to install from DVD.
Screen becomes black during installation.
Then i tried it with an older cd of Windows Server Standard and Setup runs
well.
But i lost this older cd. So i have to install from DVD.

I think I'd be inclined to try another CD/DVD drive.

It was the graphic card. Setup fails with the Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 460.
I changed the card and it runs well. The older version of Windows Server
runs well with this graphic card.

Glad to hear it's sorted.
