(If setup becomes non-responsive), do a cold boot, Start the computer, when
the Windows Boot Manager is displayed, select Windows Setup press F8 on your
keyboard and setup should continue.

Is this before Vista copies files or after? I am referring to after, you
should still be able to boot Vista into safe mode with the same
instructions.

I have the same problem with a black screen. In safe mode it continues to
install. Yet when it restarts again same problem. Booting in VGA mode helps
though so it seems to be the video drivers. I tried installing the newer
drivers and they do not result in a black screen. Unfortenately they do
cause a BSOD

I'll file a bug report with ATI and MS. ATI didn't list this problem in the
known issues (unlike the black screen problem; which is listed as "resolved"
in the newer drivers).

It's an ATI X1600 Pro (AGP).

Thank you so much Mart, I had the same exact problen you are having, I've
been struggling over this for weeks now looking for someone to figure out the
problem, I'm using the same exact ATI Graphics Card as you, and installed the
Vista drivers before the setup, and vista installed like a pro.
