I just played around a bit with the latest Windows 7 beta (build 7000) and found that ReClock is behaving quite strange with this version in that the monitor refreh rate isn't determined correctly. it fluctuates unsteadily around a (wrong) value: ~43Hz at real 50Hz and ~52Hz at real 60 Hz. Obviously with these strange values ReClock delivers a quite unpleasent experience...
Since I'm an avid ReClock user for years and haven't had a single unsolvable problem so far (on XP that is, never tried Vista), I tried everything I could think of to resolve this, but had absolutely no luck. Cleaning the refresh rate database, trying both detection methods, trying various ReClock versions (even back to 1.7), running the player in Vista compatibility mode, trying different display drivers (both nVidia and the Microsoft driver that ships with Win7) and so on. Regardless of what I was doing, the result was always exactly the same, which ultimately led me to the conclusion, that there has to be something, that makes it impossible for ReClock to work in Windows 7 and thus requires some changes in ReClock. Which is really sad since besides this issue the beta version of Win7 feels more like a release candidate than a beta.
My system specs (the relevant parts for ReClock):
Intel dual core E6600
2 GB RAM
Nvidia 9600GT
Monitor connected via DVI, Fujitsu Siemens Myrica VQ40-2 (a LCD-TV with great HTPC qualities)
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music
