I installed 2007 on a hp laptop with a mobility radeon 9000 video chipset and
it went on like a champ. Not a problem. Also on a personnally built desktop
with a ATI 9550 video card and again no problem. Did not see in the discourse
but did you insure that the md5sums for the 1st disk was correct? If you
have a DVD burner I would try again with the dvd iso. Oh if you do not have a
x86_64 cpu make sure you you did not down load that one. Just some thoughts.
