I tried installing Zorin os 8 as well as 7 from dvd and usb on a HP Compaq NX7010 laptop but it freezes as soon as I hit enter no matter what option I choose.
What should I do ?

Hi,

have you tried pressing tab (above left shift lock) and then typing "nomodeset acpi=off" and then pressing enter to start?.

Have you tried it using the 2nd option in the menu?.

What are the specs of your PC?.

I would try the latest Zorin Lite from sourceforge.

I've tried the lite version but again no luck it freezes before it starts regardless of the option I choose.I'd've loved to have it, but there we go, it's an old laptop anyway.
