Using Debian problem--please help

["Christian Hattery" <neogabcjh@msn.com>]

I used the netinst from the US mirror and I installed it on an AMD64 system 
and everything went fine and after the install when Debian ask's for my 
account name and pass it leaves that GUI and goes to nothing but a GRAY 
screen and a mouse cursor.

I don't know what to do from here and I'm confused as to what could be wrong 
please any input would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Christian Hattery
