| | Black screen problems using VPC 2007 SP1 on Win7 I'm using MS Virtual PC 2007 SP1 on the public beta of Windows 7. When running a virtual machine, the screen constantly goes black, then redraws slowly, if at all. If I move the virtual machine window, the screen will redraw, but still continue to go black. I'm running a Dell Studio XPS 435MT, Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (8CPUs) with 6GB RAM, running Windows 7 public beta 64-bit, ATI Radeon HD 3450, dual 19" monitors. |

| | RE: Black screen problems using VPC 2007 SP1 on Win7 I updated the display driver on my host machine. I have an ATI card, so I just went to their site and downloaded the latest driver. They actually had one specifically for Windows 7 64-bit. "Larry" wrote: Quote: > Hey Jason, Do you mind telling me how to update the display driver cuz I'm > having the same problem.

| | RE: Black screen problems using VPC 2007 SP1 on Win7 My host tells me the display driver is the latest. I may post this issue to a new post and see what feedback I get. Gotta run now though.
