Dave What you are experiencing is not normal, so you are going to have to be a bit a bit more explicit about what is happening before anyone can help you. Like when does this happen. After the install or during? Is it a text screen or a graphical screen? What precisely do you see? What is your hardware. Do not worry about giving too much information. derek
