    Hey guys, so I just reformatted my computer and installed the Windows 7 RC. Unfortunately, when I put in the drivers cd that came with my V1S, it says that it is only suitable for Vista and won't run at all. Did anyone else install Windows 7 and somehow get the drivers? What should I do?

    if it says install drivers anyway, click yes because a majority of the drivers designed for vista run on w7.

    Yeah I was pretty confident the Vista drivers would work for 7 but it doesn't give me that as an option.

    Run the driver CD in vista compatibility mode. That's what I do.
