First of all, what do you mean by download Vista - do you mean from the internet, or from a CD you bought to your PC?
Also, where do you get the blank screen? It you can reinstall an operating system the hardware sounds like it is working. Does the blank screen appear just before windows should load, or once it appears to have loaded?

Do you mean you copy vista from a dvd?
Did you buy vista from the shop or lend it from a freind?
But am still unsure what you mean by downloading vista, since you can,t download from M$ unless your copy is,nt real.
