screen resolution default causes installation failure

Screen Resolution Default causes Installation failure

Hello, it took me quite some time to install Vista Beta 2 because the installation was defaulting my setup to a video resolution to a higher value than what was possible for my laptop LCD monitor. I am installing on a Dell Inspiron 600m, XGA screen with max 1400 x 12... resolution. The effect of the error only occurs on the final boot up of the operating system (annoying to install and get this at the end!) and there is no safe mode boot option to correct. I somehow repeated and stumbled my way into a safe mode boot; possibly by doing a clean install. I hope you can investigate this problem for RC1 and or the final release.
