A few hints: if you are upgrading there’s no need to burn the ISO, just mount the ISO and copy the files to hard disk since you need to modify the ini for the upgrade anyways, then run the setup from disk.
- Atheros gigabit network drivers will bluescreen your Win 7 RC, but there’s already an update for that.
- You will have to re-install programs that use their own drivers such as VMWare and EVGA Precision, which does not work with the stock WMD drivers.
- There’s also a hint for making UltraVNC server work, it will not display anything with default options but follow this link: http://forum.ultravnc.info/viewtopic.php?t=14520
Hi there - I fought with the same issue. When you create a VNC connection to a Windows 7 based PC next to the controlling PC, you might see, that the Win7-PC still reacts - thus it means just your (remote) screen is not updated.
I assume in the (server) properties you activated “System Hookdll” and/or the “Video Hook Driver” on the Windows 7 VNC-server?
If you check during a connection the “Check Video Hook Driver”, you’ll see that it just sais “… inactive”. It is installed (if you managed it) but not active.
Uncheck both - “System Hookdll” and also “Video Hook Driver” - and it should work. YES… it IS slower than on a Vista or XP machine with activated Hooks… but I didn’t manage it to get it run.
By the way: hit (WITH activated hooks) the “refresh screen” button on the client - if you see then an approprately changed screen - you see that it’s just the refresh that doesn’t work… and above mentioned solution should let you at least be able to work with it…
