OK, so I've finally managed to download the beta from MS, and eventually got it installed ok but I have quite a big problem. The Vista bootloader seems to be at a different resolution and my monitor can't seem to display it without the writing jumping unreadably across the screen. I have a cheap LCD and I expect that's the problem but it makes it difficult to boot to XP. So I'd be grateful if someone could either advise me how I could add Vista to the XP bootloader and boot from that or if there is some way I could sort out my monitor... I try the auto adjust and it doesn't work! :confused:

try to get into safe mode, and see if you can change the res there.it also may be the drivers are not compatible with vista.

if you could post a pic, that might help

Thanks for the help - Vista is fine once I'm past the bootloader screen and I don't think you can change the reolution of the bootloader. The problem is I can't read the screen to chose between Vista and XP, and because I can't read the screen I wouldn't be able to boot to safe mode anyway :laugh: ! I think I'll just give Vista a miss for now and put Ubuntu back on that partition.
