  1. @VG, I’ve just reinstalled from win8 release preview to win7 x64 sp1, then I try this win7 boot updater but it didn’t work..I don’t know about the win8 boot loader problem..

  5. ^^ No. It only works when your screen resolution is equal or more than 1024×768.

    @julian
    No. Its absolutely fine. I have seen many such cases and I hope the developer will fix the issue in next version of Windows 7 Boot Updater.
