    new loader beta6 works fine with Macbook Pro 2,2 except for one thing - BootCamp's display dimming and brightening. When you try to dim display it freezes all system with strange dashes and rectangles on the screen. Looks some sort of ACPI problem.

    Same problem with original Hazard loader.
    No problem without loader (original Windows7 boot).

    So, if you want to try loader, disable bootcamp's systray icon on startup because it sometimes tries to adjust display brightness, and system freezes on very beginning of logging in.
    Bad thing, is that you can't use some apple advantages, like mac's trackpad multitouch/two fingers, mac function keys for display brightness, sound level etc., mac keyboard backlight, optical drive eject button and similar features in Windows.

    I use Bootcamp v3.0

    Hazard and zsmin - thank you for amazing bugfix!

    Regards

    What you are saying is unclear. Are the Boot Camp drivers actually installed in your Windows 7?

    Yes yes boot camp drivers 3.0 are installed
    What I did:
    Installed win 7 with bootcamp 3.0 from snow leopard. Used Windows 7 Loader Version 1.5 by Orbit30Hazar, then newloader_beta4, and then drivers from Snow. It worked, but there was a problem with the newloader_beta4 (blue screen in win 7 and it rebbot all time), then used then newloader_beta6, but now I dont have sound :confused:

    ??? No idea. My only suggestion is for you to reinstall Boot Camp 3.0.

    Sound is related to the Boot Camp sound drivers. If they somehow got damaged, you need to reinstall them, but I'm sure activation has nothing to do with your problem.

    Hi I can also report that the bootime delay is now massively reduced with the latest loader. It is now something like 5 seconds on an early 2008 Macbook pro 3.1 as opposed to 45 seconds previously. Great work you guys! You rock!

    The only small annoyance I have left - and it is small, is that I now have a folder on my C:Drive called BOOT. I would prefer if this could be hidden, but for some reason I can't change the attributes on this folder to ensure that it is.

    Like I said, only a small issue, but for the sake of neatness I wish I could hide it.
