RC5 Live works - Installed version doesn't???

HI,
Brand new to this OS... Looks great. I decided to download RC5 last night and have a play on my Acer TravelMate 290 Laptop. I loaded the from the Live and did what I wanted. However, after I installed from the live, I couldn't get it to boot into the OS. I got the initial login screen and the Z Splash Screen as one should while booting. But then a blank screen that simply stayed that way!!!

I have had this problem before with other Linux OS's where there is a Screen Resolution issue, but can't seem to change this???

In the end I bit the bullet and downloaded V4 Core, which installed and works perfectly!!! No problems whatsoever!!!

Any advise would be greatly appreciated...

Would it be worth waiting for the Stable V5 version to be released and try that??? Can I upgrade to V5 from 4 without losing my current configuration???

Cheers
Stevie

Thanks swarfendor437,
I will give the suggested solution a try and see if it at least fixes the problem in the interim... See how it goes.

Cheers
