New Installation - Almost working!

Hey guys - I have been playing around with these Customization settings for iatkos v7 I havent really found any explination for what each option is for but knowing my hardware i have a vague understanding of whats going on....

hardware list:
P5N-E SLI
Q6600
Nvidia 260 GTX Maxcore
6GB DDR2(clocked at 667)

When I boot up for the first time I get a blank screen, and some crazy disco music starts playing.. I dunno if that music is supposed to be there but it sure is a fancy way of telling me i have an error...

So I first tried the genaric "NVIDIA 2xx" Driver, and after i got the blank screen I went with the "285 in other words another 2xx driver" its installing now, but if this does not work is there a genaric driver that anyone knows of will work?

And also is this exclusive to my video card? or will this type of error occur in any other case, like booting up for the first time with two monitors connected? does this effect the installation process? does mac support 2 monitors?

Still trying, but since theres no real explination of these "Customization" options I've simply been checking boxes that "Sound" right to me... and I've installed about 4 times so far, very annoying each install takes about 1/2 an hour. Any genaric help would be appriciated or if anyone has experiance with this type of platform and which options i should be selecting please speak up

Update after installation attempt #4:
Yea still the same funky music & both monitors go in power saving mode on boot...

Attempt #5:
I will try everything the same settings with just "NVENABLER" this time, browsing around these forums while i was installing attempt#4, I did a search for "Nvidia 260" and someone said to try JUST that one.. so I'll give it a shot. Should I have tried the 2xx with the NVEnabler?
Update: system hangs with these settings

Attempt #6: Getting so routine I forgot to check off my SATA Drivers...

Attempt #7
I picked
>DVI/DVI
>Something that said Nvidia 260 in it
>Nvidia 2xx drivers

Disco music is back... no video...

Attempt #8: Trying DVI/VGA due to the fact my monitors are connected through a VGA adapter and theres no explination exacally what these options are for

iATKOS v7 MAIN SYSTEM
Chameleon V2
Extra Directory
DSDT
APPLE DECRYPT
KERNEL VOODOO 9.7
x86 ACPI
Disabler

DRIVERS:
VGA>NVIDIA>EFI String for Nvidia>
DVI/VGA
Enablers: CoreVidia
nVidiaGT200

nForce SATA/IDE
USB
VOODOO HDA DRiver
NTFS-3G
Nforce Wired Network

POST INSTALL ACTIONS

Result : Music again.. No video

Attempt #9 same as above but VGA/DVI instead.
