Any particular reason why you're using Windows 7 Starter? In any case, have you tried running it as an administrator or via a compatibility mode?

@ rubbereend: Welcome to Eurobricks by the way. Does your Windows 7 have a 32-bit operating system (OS), or a 64-bit OS? To find out, left-click on the Windows "Start" icon at the lower-left corner of your screen, right-click on "Computer", and left-click on "Properties" to see the "System type." If you have a 64-bit OS, you could follow the instructions on this webpage. I used Yahoo! Babelfish to translate that webpage from English to Dutch.

Here is a Microsoft Windows webpage that helps "Getting Lego Mindstorms NXT 1.1 to Load on Windows 7" (in English and Dutch).

I can answer that; Windows 7 Starter is always 32 bit.

there was a trick in order to install NXT software on Windows 7 Started (I installed it on my netbook)

it involved changing the setup.ini file.

if you google around probably you find it

I googled that for you:

To install NXT software on Windows 7 Starter Editions

edit the setup.ini file in the [OS] section to include the following

"AllowWindowsStarter=1"
