    You have to upgrade the video drivers...

    You have to install the media reader drivers...

    Use the ones meant for vista, they work fine on 7.

    If you installed 32-bit windows 7, use 32-bit windows vista drivers. If you installed 64-bit windows 7, use 64-bit windows vista drivers.

    Navigate to this key in the registry and make the following changes:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Sidebar\Settings
    3. Right-click and create a new DWORD (32-Bit) Value called AllowElevatedProcess.
    4. Right-click AllowElevatedProcess and click Modify. Set the value to 1. Close the registry editor
