It was the DVD, I'm typing this from Windows 7 RC! In Firefox of course! I started installing at around 12:30 and it finished at 12:50. Pretty damn quick.

I don't really like the new wallpaper/theme changer. I know a wallpaper isn't a major thing but I like my 22 inch monitor to look it's best. In Vista, you could choose wallpapers separately but where is that in Windows 7? It was there in the Beta. All I see are themes.

I swear it hasn't even -moved- since the beta.

Thank You... I used the link to download the 64-bit version last night, I used the MS Download Manager and made sure it reached 100%. The ISO burned fine using ImgBurn; Windows 7 installed in about 15 minutes, and all devices in Device Manager were installed and working (AHCI, ATI 4870, Realtek HD and Ethernet... All working at first boot). Installed latest ATI 9.4 for Win7 no problem, Realtek drivers updated fine using Vista 64-bit 2.22 drivers. So far so good, no problems whatsoever.

Just to see if the iso downloaded correctly i tried mounting it to daemon tools but I get this when trying to run the setup.

Any idea what the problem is?

Edit: I was thinking of attempting from just trying an upgrade from vista (not on my primary of course) to see if there were any problems, but this keeps me from being able to achieve that.

Win7U killed my bootloader, so I cannot boot into WinVHP...how do I reinstall the bootloader so that I can boot into either OS; as I have games, etc. on my WinVHP partition?!

It didn't kill your bootloader, it just removed the entry to Vista so it doesn't give you the choice of which OS to boot at startup. Have you tried EasyBCD? http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 I don't know if it'll work on 7, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Or you could just do it manually with BCDedit.

      In that case this product has no value to me. I'd rather use older Creative SB that were better in my opinion or onboard audio chip.
