Windows on imac problems

Hi
would really appreciate some help dual booting my imac.ive followed the instructions online of how to do it using boot camp but when the windows start screen comes up the imac screen goes black and does not restart.

Welcome to Mac-Forums bantam4life
What version of Windows are you trying to use? Please note that you can really only install Windows XP SP2 or above, Windows Vista or Windows 7. It has to be a Retail disk and not a restore disk too.

We not only need to know which version of Windows you're trying to install but we also need to know the year and model of your iMac.

You can not install Windows XP (any version) on the late model iMacs or MBP machines. It is not supported. You can only install Vista or Windows 7.

Hi guys.
Its windows 7 64-bit and it is a proper retail disk. its a 21.5 inch imac bought last september.
It gets to the point where its says its completing the installation of windows then when it restarts it goes to the windows start page then the screen just goes black and does not come back on.

It's a known graphics issues . . . . hold on..... link coming . . . .
