What are the specs for your computer?
I have:
Asus A8V-E SE mobo
ATI Radeon X850 XT PCI-E x16
AMD 64 X2 4800+
I got the same problem going on, seems to be a problem with video card or
motherboard, not sure yet. I boot into safe mode, go to device manager and
uninstall my graphics card. I then reinstall my graphics card while still in
safe mode. I use the ATI vista beta drivers downloaded from the ATI website.
If this isn't the case for you try to let vista install the default drivers.
I then restart my computer and Vista will work. Aero works, everything works
except my secondary S-video output. The only problem is if you shut down and
restart the problem comes back and you must go back into safe mode uninstall
and reinstall to get back in. I've read that using the hybernate or sleep or
whatever it's called now works, but I've got a dual boot system and I need to
get into my XP, so I have to shut down sometimes. If that doesn't work, try
it the same way, but install the regular VGA drivers while in safe mode. You
won't get the good resolution or the aero effects, but you might be able to
get into vista. Sorry if this doesn't fix you're problem, but I say it's
worth a try.
