Windows 7 and PSU

Earlier this evening, I decided to take the brand new Windows 7 Beta for a test drive. Just for the hell of it, I thought it would be interesting to see how well PSU ran in the new version of Windows.

After installing the game and messing around with options for a half hour or so, I came to a conclusion: PSU doesn't run at all.

The problem doesn't seem to be the game itself, though. Instead (and this probably shouldn't be a shock to anyone), it's GameGuard that's causing the issue. Immediately after starting the game up, the following error message appears:



And there doesn't seem to be any way to fix the problem. No combination of compatibility mode or privilege changes kills the error. I guess the only thing to do is to wait until INCA decides to make GameGuard compatible with Windows 7.
