[Bug 1077440] Re: [VMWare Player 5.0.1] Quantal as guest hangs at end of install

 

I downloaded saucy-desktop-i386 (at about 13:00 UTC today, the web page
on your link says :  saucy-desktop-i386.iso              10-Aug-2013
08:19  878M

I used VMware Player 5.0.2 build-1031769 on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.

After booting the ISO I got this screen: attachment first_screen.png

I can not continue, as every screen is like that (went one further) and
half of it is not visible, including the Next button, I would have to
"navigate blind".

Also (later), with the blue circle icon menu at the "top" I turned on
High Contrast mode, but then there is no way to turn it off.
