Problem when install BT4 on Notebook Compaq CQ42- 167TU

[firestork]

I have a Compaq CQ42 notebook, and want to install Backtrack 4 on it. But when I booted BT4 from DVD drive, I can't start Desktop Environment. Everytime, after pressed the command startx, I only saw a screen with some complex codes and the message "Screen found, but can't create a usable configuration, blah,blah.."(i don't remember exactly).
Anyone can help me? Please. I really want to use BT.
Thank you so much.

Wow what a serious request for help. Check the blah blah blah, to ensure that your yada, yada, yada, is up and running.
If not configure the meh.

Seriously try posting some relevant info in regards to your error message, as well as your graphics card. Might be a good idea first check the md5sum of your media. Might also want to try fixvesa before starting the x server.

Firstly, I apologize to all you for my first post. In that day, I was in a bad mood, and didn't write too many details about my problems. Perhaps you'll say "None of my business". I absolutely agree with you. So,today let me represent my issue .
My notebook has Corei3-330M CPU with graphic card onboard.
And the text appeared in screend I can record

pci:00:03:0.0 : no compatible bridge window for [mem 0xffff0000 – 0xfffffff pre f]

after the command startx

I'm not a geek, thus I don't understand what those mean. Hopefully you can give me a solution. Thank you so much.
P/s: I don't think the .iso file is the problem. The Live CD can run normally on my friend's Toshiba Satellite L510 Notebook and (FTW) the virtual machine created by VirtualBox (on my computer).

type fix-vesa then it'll ask you to type startx

the < fix-vesa > command will allow you to start a session but it will not use the correct (max) resolution, the < dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg > command will do this automatically
