My Windows 7 Beta Installation is More Stable Now
I think I got most things sorted with my Windows 7 Beta installation now. When I uninstalled the “half new” version of Virtual CloneDrive I had, things started to work way, way better. There is now a newer version of Virtual CloneDrive (5.4.2.3 or later...
