Do you get this error when autorun is loading, or during install? If it's before you have chosen INSTALL from autorun screen, then try to execute the install programm manually from cd. To do this, explore every folder from cd till you find install.exe (not sure if it's that, but I would think it's) and run it.

If this message comes during install progress, I do't have any ideas what to do.

I never had any trouble with installation, but then the mac installation consists of dragging 1 folder to your hard drive.

It may be your video card.

I'm not sure, but try copying it to your hd before installing. Then run the program. May be some issue with autorun.
