For anyone out there that is thinking of picking this up. It does work on Windows 7. The installation is a little tricky but it does work.

To install you must do the following:
1. Open cd in explorer window.
2. Go to Software folder
3. Right click on InstallGB.exe and select properties
4. Go to compatability tab
5. Select run in Windows XP (SP3) and run as admin press ok
6. Go to Intervideo folder
7. Do the same for setup.exe
8. Go back and run InstallGB.exe
9. Plug in device when asked and follow install prompts.

Should work just fine now. I had no problems with my install. Worked on the first try. I never was able to get this thing to work properly on XP or Vista due to lack of PC power. Runs beautifully on my Win 7 system. Quality of video capture is nothing to write home about but it does the trick.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works with Windows 7, but not 64-bit, August 4, 2010

This product does work with windows 7 and vista, but not the 64-bit versions. In a 64-bit environment, the only way to install this is using vmware or another virtual operating system program to install and run a 32 bit system (guest). Install the Gamebridge to the 32-bit guest system and it works at full speed on a relatively new computer.

I purchased this little gadget several months ago. I really enjoy using the Gamebridge. It is both simple and reliable. I am able to record and preserve video gameplay just when I want and end it when I want to. It works like a digital onscreen VCR (through the software) and if you are an avid gamer, you need a product like this. Though the only thing to be aware of, this product does not have drivers and support for the VISTA operating system. Only if you use Windows XP or Windows 2000 can you use the device. I am one of those PC owners who still has not made the switch from XP to VISTA. Yet I am happy with XP. So looks like I will be keeping XP around a lot longer. Haha! This product is non-nonsense in setting up, plus it is small and not a clutter issue. I recommend it. I use my Gamebridge device to connect to my 15.4 inch screen laptop computer via a USB port. My Nintendo Wii is my most used game machine alongside my laptop. Its neat as the Wii is space saving along with the laptop, which makes things very portable.
