Weird installer activity

Hey all,

I've installed CF before but I am experiencing some odd behavior and I can't get it installed on my new box.

When I go to install the developer edition the window looks strange. The drop downs are not shown properly. Radio buttons are missing but I can still click on where they are supposed to be. Text boxes are missing but again I can click on where I know they are to enter passwords and such.

Long story short I get to the end of the install wizard click on "install" and nothing happens.

Now I installed 6.1 to see if that would work, and it did. But when I go to uninstall it (in the control panel, add/remove prog...) the same thing happens.

The wizards looks odd I get to the uninstall button and nothing happens.

I know this is pretty vague, but I don't know how else to describe what is going on.

Any ideas would be fantastic. Thanks.

I have the latest video drivers for the Nvidia card (it's on board) and the problem still exists.

Any ideas would be great, I'll try them all.

During installation Coldfusion runs an applet for the Administrator. Just to rule out any applet issues, install the latest version of the JRE. Restart your machine.

What about any other installers? have you installed any programs in this box? I would also try installing something that comes with InstallAnywhere (JRun?) and see if the same thing occurs there. But I would agree with RobbieDL - it does look like something's up with the graphics.

Yeah, does seem like a strange problem. If anything, it sounds like a graphics issue. You say you're installing CF on a new machine, have you downloaded/installed the appropiate graphics drivers for your card?
