    How about some details on your hardware? Make and Model? Include, if you will, video card details, HD size, RAM, processor info, etc.

    What operating system is the machine running now?

    Are you attempting an upgrade, or a clean install?

    Thanks...

    Does that "funny" display remain throughout the installation, or does it become clear from some point on (e.g. once the correct display driver is installed)?

    It's throughout the installation on x64bit but it don't happen on the x32bit installation disc. Eventually it will stop the installation from working and throws up a corruption error.

    This is a update. I found the same problem on youtube site which I am having. here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo4XC6o9HJE

    it looks like there is a problem with NVidia graphics cards and awaiting a Microsoft fix.

    Update:-

    I have tried taking my graphics card out and running on integrated graphics and the graphics go but the installation disc wont install and giving me a error which I can't remember what it said. I think I'm going to stick to windows 8 32bit for now until there is a fix for the x64bit system.

    Another Update -

    I have decided to switch back to windows 7 x64 bit. I searched through the internet and there is quite a few people having the same problem I have spoke to Microsoft and they are working on the fix for the windows 8 x64 bit.

    Windows 8 x64 don't like the Nvidia and AMD cpu combo.
