    Whey!
    I removed that 2nd ram stick and it seems to be working fine now :)
    Just another quick question: To install my graphics card, should I find/install the software for it first or just plug it back in?
    Thank you all very much!

    Good catch Larry

    Glad you got it working Doc. You should be able to plug the second memory stick now, but I would test it to see if no problems.

    You should first plug the card, then have Windows 7 update the drivers. It usually does a very good job on that. If you want you can go to NVidia's website and download the latest drivers and aps too. I would make sure everything is working fine with the drivers Win7 installs automatically (and if so possibly make an image of your system) before installing NVidia's. I myself never had a problem with NVidia drivers (did have with ATI) but you never know.

    Similar Problem on Mini 9


    Hello All,

    This is my first post. So, please bear with me. I am experiencing the same problems with the keyboard and mouse freezing.

    I am trying to install 7 Pro 32-bit on my Dell Mini 9. Specs are as follows: Intel 945 Express Chipset, Intel GMA 950, 32GB STEC SSD (Mini PCIe), 1GB RAM. I used the Windows 7 USB DVD Tool to create a bootable USB drive using a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4GB.

    I am able to boot and get into the setup screen. I have tried several times and it always freezes at some point. The furthest I have gotten is "Expanding Files 0%". It has frozen as early as the black screen just after the splash. The keyboard and mouse both freeze, and from what I can tell the screen does as well.

    I have searched a couple of different places and have found a couple of different reasons why this might be happening:

    1) Windows Setup loses track of the primary drive, which I suppose is possible with my configuration.

    2) UFD not compatible - but it boots and I used it to install Fedora 12 without any issues.

    3) Memory Leak (seems unlikely).

    4) NTFS filesystem on the UFD - what I suspect is the likely cause.

    5) Yahoo answers says wait 6 hours and try again. Tried it. Didn't work the first few times. It's a bit unrealistic to keep waiting 6 hours every time it freezes.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
