Weird Boot problem black screen but selecting option 7 starts up for True image

Hi All,

I have been using Acronis trueimage 2010 for over a year now, I mainly use it to take image backup of my PC/Laptop and restore it elsewhere. Now I took a image of my laptop last week before migrating to windows 7 and then restored onto PC. I normally experience driver problems anytime I do this, but I only take this approach as a way of re-assuring myself before I wipe off hard drive. I followed this step last week and restored onto PC, Now that the upgrade is complete, I want to restore the image of the original Dell 3200 PC back onto the PC.

When I insert the Acronis CD for it to boot, it shows the Acronis splash screen and all I then get it just a black screen. This is completely new and just very weird.
I then looked at the screen and there are quite a few options that one can press, I pressed option 7 which I think says something about low resolution or so, then Acronis boots up nicely although with very low quality resolution VGA. I then try to navigate to the NAS to pick up the image of the PC to restore back, it reboots itself. Last time I set got it to start the restore, I don’t think it completed as windows didn’t boot fine.
I have not changed the video card etc, the only thing that has changed since last week is the fact that I have upgraded the memory on the Pc. The memory there before was 1GB, and I have now made this 4GB as it was really slow. Should this cause Acronis to not work again ?
Anything else I need to do ?

I’m thinking of installing the old DIM slots, but before I do so I want to find out if memory upgrades can affect Acronis and stop it from starting up.
Thanks in advance.
