Press Alt+Ctrl+F1. Does it drop you at text mode and display any error message?

Hi, and welcome to Linux Forums!
Backtrack is for Linux system administrators, and not a good distro for new users. Try something like Ubuntu to learn how to use Linux.
Also, do not revive old threads for new questions, start a new thread of your own.Paul
