Yup, Chiefpion is right. That's my problem. I'm luckier, though. I installed
it a different computer and it works. So I've actually seen the desktop. On
the other computer, it looks like we're sharing problems. Also, unless you're
actually quoting someone, please cut out the quote that's put there by
default. It just makes it more difficult to read (and longer to load on my
Pocket PC). Thanks. Another thing, I've found that even if after you post it
says "error" it still posted. I noticed you posted similar things twice. I'm
assuming that's why. I'll probably get the same error message after posting
this. It's still there, though. Hmm...

Chaimss,

I feel so validated!! I wonder if it's a funny piece of hardware we happen
to have installed OR it might be that I didn't reformat my HD before the
previous two installs. I'll be sure to post after I get home and find out
what happened while I was at work today.

iam bennu,

I think the problem Chaimss and I are having is the blank box is denying the
name and password we setup two minutes earlier. Plus, there seems like
there's no way of logging into the system at all, the administrator account
is reportedly disabled. I've never even seen the vista desktop, let alone
start bar or control panel.

It's like we're stuck in the lobby, so to speak.

So it worked. . . . a super scrubbed clean install of Beta 2 seems to be the
best. After formating and reinstalling. I go the the hoops and made sure just
to put my name in and no password and now it boots right to the desktop and
doesn't hassle me . . . now to get rid of all those permission popups and
now to find a cheap sound card that has a driver.

Any suggestions?

I am having the exact smae problem, and from reading this thread, it seems
that the remedy is to format and do a whole fresh reinstall of vista, right?
