i love windows 7. i’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now as my primary os, and recently formatted all of my computer to it. it’s awesome. i haven’t been able to use my sonicwall vpn client though. after coming the forums, i found a solution (use at your own risk though).

1) open command prompt
2) type "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1", enter
3) type "devmgmt.msc" to open the device manager, enter
4) in the menu, go to view -> show hidden devices
5) expand the non-plug and play node (expanded by default)
6) right click on the sonicwall ipsec driver, properties, go to drivers tab
7) set startup type to automatic
8) click ok
9) reboot and enjoy

optionally, you may want to also set the devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=0 after you are done, but it’s beta anyway right?
