Vista causing some difficulty

I am a long time windows user and just tried the Vista Beta today.
Everything appeared to install fine, but for some reason, I cannot boot it.
If I start up the computer, I see the Vista loader bar, and from then on, the
screen goes blank and nothing else happens. I can boot Vista in safe mode,
but how do I try it out like that?

PC Config:
AMD3700+ (64-bit with 64-bit Vista beta)
2048MB Cosair XMS RAM
ATI X1600XT Pro AGP 512MB (with apropriate 64-bit vista driver)
Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum (Vista driver will not install)

Anyone else having this issue and know how to fix it? Should I try just
reinstalling Vista?

I did not find any.

Do a fresh install after writing zeroes to your drive. You can d/l .iso files
for such utilities from Maxtor and Seagate's websites. This would be an
essential place to start before doing anything else, IMHO (works for me).

Good luck
