    Install in text mode. Microsoft virtual PC can only provide 16-bit colour, and this causes problems for many distro's installers. You can fix it properly in the X server config.

    Alternatively, you may find it better to use VMWare Player or VMWare Server. I've used all three of these products from Windwos and they knock the spots of the MS version.
