OS 9 Core 64-bit Install Problem

I have downloaded the Zorin OS 9 Core 64-bit ISO and have burned the ISO to disc. When I boot from the disc the setup process starts (barely). A blue screen with what looks like a keyboard then an equals sign and then a human icon. After a few seconds the screen blanks or turns black and nothing else happens. The setup just sits there and does not install.
This machine currently has OS 8 installed on it. I really don't know that much about Linux Operating Systems and need some guidance. I have no idea what's wrong or what to do from there. All help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi, when you see that symbol, press the space bar and the screen will open up at language selection (F2 option) - press the 'Escape' key then choose your keyboard layout, (F3) by moving your cursor (arrow) keys to desired input language, then press Esc then Press F6 and see if 'acpi=off' works for you in those options - if you are still having issues, try the text install method submitted by decalman:
