Ok so I have this laptop (Dell Inspiron 1720) and it had Vista on it when I got it from the Factory. When it got a really bad virus that I couldn't remove with my programs (because of stupid vista) I decided to just reinstall vista. I have done it once before, so I just did it the same why as I did it last time. Only this time I just get a Black Screen of Death. All I see is a mouse on a black screen. So I though there was something wrong with the install. So I reformatted by booting the computer off the OS disk, then reinstalled. Same result.

I have google and it didn't really give any help except that it could be a Driver problem which I can't do anything about.
