Whatever you do, don't do 64Bit. You will drive yourself crazy and the benefits are not that great either.

Reinstalled using 32 bit and everything was much smoother. Probably should have thought of that earlier.Re: Getting Windows 7 to work on a Mark 1 CF-30

Did you ever get the BIOS updated ? Did you try using 7Zip http://download.cnet.com/7-Zip/3000-225 ... ag=mncol;1 to open the BIOS update. I just did a new install of windows 7 and the only drivers I had to install was the 3 Hkeys. Windows 7 installed the touchscreen for me.dianoia wrote:Hi,
it's the same message I got when I tried to update with win7:
"ERROR: This program will not run on this PC."

Blair,
Can you post a shot of your hid devices(expanded) from device manager please.
I want to compare it to my CF-19 for curiosities sake.
Thanks,
Jeff
