Guest smithy Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 For some reason my installer dosent work. i put the cd into the drive boot from it then theres a page saying F1 other options - ENTER install or upgrade and i hit enter and it just has a black screen. i reboot then press f1 this time, ive tried vlago text and linux and the same problem. Except for text, text just says initializing cryptographic api.. any help will be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
