    Hi there,

    Windows 7 (Build 6081) is pre beta software, so it is very possible drivers are not yet available and possibly won't be for some time. These are the kind of hurdles you will come up against when using software that is still in its development stages.
    However it may be the Vista drivers will work so perhaps give that a go and see what happens.

    firewire devices usually do not require drivers, so you are *** until a new build comes out.
