Windows 2000 install problem

I have been updating a fairly new (less than 2 years old) machine from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. All hardware passed the compatibility test and install has been no problem until I get to the "Install Devices" screen. At some point along the way on that screen, it goes black, with a blinking cursor and ' marks all over the screen.
Has anyone seen anything like this? In all of my installs, I have not seen anything of this nature.
Thanks for the help

Hi,

Can't think of too much useful at the moment, other than to advise you replace the video card as it appears that, even if the hardware is compatible, the video memory could be bad.

Hope this helps
