Try restarting in Safe mode and letting it finish the install

should i do a upgrade or a clean up on my setup

i work with computers alot but not really installing os systems but i want
vista i know that this is beta but i want to try it i dont want to sound
like a newbie but how do i get to safe mode i know that its not hard what
is the key for safe mode

its key f8 now should it be safe mode or safe mode networking

should i go to safe mode evertime it restarts or just the last restart....

should i do a upgrade or a clean up advance
