[QUOTE="Ragna, post: 938527, member: 130557"] Thanks! I did some reasearch too, and came across this topic : [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2207823&tstart=0]Apple - Support - Discussions - Black/Blank Screen with Boot Camp Win 7 ...[/url] where one person links to the same site you do. So now the install went fine, and I've also installed Bootcamp 3.0. The only problem now, was that I couldn't go higher than a 1920x1440 resolution. As one person in the thread I linked said : "The BootCamp driver that loads only give a max resolution of 1980 X 1440 so everything looks stretched. Installing the ATI drivers from ATI did no good." But the next one says "After following your solution and then run the window 7 update, the screen rsolution issue is now resolved. I think Microsoft just released an update sometimes today and the update is reading as following: "ATI Technologies Inc driver update for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670". " And indeed after this update it works perfectly. :D Edit : Also, there was no sound, but Windows found the problem all by itself, downloaded some driver and it worked instantly after that. I have to say this Windows 7 looks very good so far, and it seems it'll be a pleasure to use when I have to leave Mac OS :) [/QUOTE]
