Did you checked the DVD from where you are installing vista 64bit on any other computer?

If it will do the same, get a new copy of windows vista. Maybe the DVD is corrupted

Just a stupid question..how does one actually do that without installing it on another system? How many extra reformattable systems do you suppose one has sitting around? :huh:

I can't really tell from your question what on earth you are talking about. You have 32 bit what running where? And you tried to install 64 bit Vista, so presumably there is no longer 32 bit anything running? Or are you trying to dual boot 63 bit and 32 bit Vista? What do the memory sticks have to do with the problem at all?

Could your problem be summed up like this?
I was running 32 bit Vista, and I installed 64 bit Vista, but all I get is a blank screen when I reboot?

Ok, so the silly question; how are you trying to boot from the 64 bit version? Are you trying to select it from the bios, or are you selecting it from the bootloader?
