I am currently running Windows XP 32-bit. I am attempting to install Windows 7 64 (yes, my processor is a 64). When I boot from the disk, I get the initial black screen and the loading files bar, the moving dots and windows logo. Then an artsy blue screen and nothing else. I can move my mouse around freely, but there is nothing to click on and neither my hard drive nor optical drive do anything from then on.
I've looked around for an answer and have seen something about changing BIOS settings and about having only 2GB of RAM installed (I currently have 4). However, considering my PC's apparent opposition to me getting inside it and due to my utter lack of BIOS knowledge, I'm rather reluctant to try either of these options without some guidance!
Does anyone have some clue why my installation is hanging so early on?
Thanks!
Julie
