Many have reported a problem, I dealt with it as well, with the burned DVD
not working properly.
Could it simply be a bad burn? I had to burn mine a second time using a
slower speed (burned at 4x) and then it worked perfectly.

It is rather hard to tell where in the install process when you use terms
like 'after the last thing'.

I burnt three Beta 2 versions (x86 ENU, x86 DEU, x64 DEU) at 2x - as
recommended - and all installed smoothly.

and then i do a clean up installed......and after i installed all the
features of vista...it restarts one last time then it freezes and shows
lines on my computer

Good. Have you tried going into VGA mode and resetting your video settings
to a lower setting and refresh rate.

 

[Guest]

no what does that do let me try that

 

[Guest]

where can i find that is that right clicking and then properties it say 60
hertz but i cant get lower then that

 

[John Barnes]

That's low enough and if the resolution is also fairly low, then this is not
the problem. You have gone thru the complete setup, correct? What do you
see when you boot into VGA or safe modes. What screen did you have when you
right clicked?

 

[Mark D. VandenBerg]

Try booting into Safe Mode.

I think everybody else is on the right track here.
It is likely a display mode problem.
I didn't get lines when I installed I got the generic display drivers which
worked with very
low res poor quality video until I found and installed Vista video card and
monitor drivers.
Booting into safe mode would hopefully give you access to your computer to
be able
to download and install the correct drivers.
