I had the same problem when I used the original W7 disk, but after downloading iso from torrent and making a bootable usb out of it, the problem was gone.

thanks a lot ill try it now and let you know how it goes, im not entirely sure if my pc supports booting from a usb but ill give it a shot. i had xp working on it but when i tried to install some dongle software to connect to the internet it said that i needed admin rights when i was the only admin account on the pc and i made another but that didnt work either, so im gonna try win 7
