    At what point does the error arise? When the CD is booting or after the install has completed?

    The error message comes up just as the install is about to finish, thanks.

    Yep, this happened to me as well. Have you got an ATI card by any chance? If you have I think it's a driver problem but I couldn't really be bothered to look into it anymore so didn't fix it.

    Have you tried the new release?
