Unhappy dsl 3.1 not booting correctly on compaq 2105US


I have a DSL 3.1 live cd.
when I boot my notebook with it, after pressing return key at the "boot:" prompt, screen becomes blank and remains that way.
My hardware specs:
Mobile AMD Athlon[tm]XP 1800+
1.52 GHz
448 Mb of RAM

The above specs are as in "properties" of My Computer.

Another problem i have is with DSL cd on my PC. DSL boots fine and loads OK-desktop and all but as soon as I move my mouse, pointer moves to center of screen and freezes, not responding to mouse clicks.
Keyboard shortcuts work but since I m a newbie, dont know many.
Just closed intro window with "ctrl + q".thats all. I couldnt navigate the icons with keyboard.
