LinuxMCE screen goes blank after initial install screen

[sdgarden]

I have a similar problem to others reported here but nothing seems to work

Im attempting to install LinuxMCE. After the initial install screen, I select "Install LinuxMCE' and the screen almost immediately goes blank.

My video card is GEForce 9600. Im assuming its a driver problem but have no idea how to resolve. The pc was working fine before the install.
