I am following this guide: here → with no success. I get to the main wallpaper screen with the colorful spinner, but after about 5-10 seconds the spinner freezes and nothing after that. I have KPs are anything, so I am unsure what could be the cause of this. I am using GraphicsEnabler=y because I am using an Asus EN9400GT video card and have no additional cards or anything installed. Only odd thing is as the setup is loading (during the Chameleon screen after using -v) it reporst my video card as nVidia unknown 512MB. Could this be the issue? I wouldnt think so but I really dont know. Any help is appreciated...
