pcandpc Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi,The vista home basic oem install screen is unreadable.The screen appears in text mode during the early graphic install stage.So, is there a way to install vista in text mode somehow? Or, how canI change into a proper graphic mode. Perhaps, the grapic card is unsupportedfor vista home basic oem?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Is this a new computer? I usually see graphical problems (without seeing a picture) based upon memory support, bad memory, or bad video cards. Here is an example of "memory support" graphic corruption. This would only happen when 2 sticks of memory were used on a specific motherboard, but it worked normally with only one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Also, a bit more info about the machine in question would be helpful. Not sure how much, as it does sound like a hardware problem, but it might help anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL.I gotten similar just from plugging another HDD with a 90 W (or about that) PSU on a 2001 Gateway LOL.
