Hi!
I can't install the trial of Alcohol 120 in Windows 7 Beta.
The installer seems to (or should) be installing the driver, but after the reboot, it does not recognize that the driver is (or should have been) installed.

What should I do?

Thanks. please.gif

Alcohol does not currently support Windows 7.

Pinning to top of forum to *hopefully* fend off any further posts about Windows 7.

Just for clarification as to why this action has been taken,

This from Microsoft

Information about Windows 7 is preliminary and subject to change. Some product features of Windows 7, such as the ability to watch and record live TV or navigation through the use of "touch," may require advanced or additional hardware. The features and functionality you find in the Beta product may not appear in the final version of Windows 7.


Note the paragraph "The features and functionality you find in the Beta product may not appear in the final version of Windows 7"

For this reason taking time to add support for windows 7 at this stage could well be a waste of valuble programing time and effort as any changes MS make could adversly effect any work put into adding support for present Beta versions of Windows 7.
