I bought the new Mac OS X Leopard version and I have a problem. When I reset this computer, it shows a grey screen and I hear my CD never stopping, but the topper is the screen does not go away. As I have waited for fifteen minutes and the program should not load that long at all, I am hoping that you people will figure out why this is going on and how I could fix it. Thank you all a lot.

Sorry for the title being odd; it is being bad in reality as it will not load.

Could you give us some info on the Mac you are using? (model, processor, screen size, ram installed, etc..)

so, what OS version were you running prior to trying to install Leopard?

What kind of machine is this on?

if you reboot without the Leopard disk now, does it start Tiger?

did you do the key combo to boot from the combo/super drive - i think it's cmd+C as the machine starts, you can check your manual to be sure.
