Re: Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit and WIDI?

This post has still not been answered adequately.

 

When the hardware OEM has complied and enabled the option WiDi will still not work under Windows7 Enterprise 64.

 

To prove this a standard Toshiba Tecra R850 has Windows 7 Pro 64 loaded. The drivers and widgets are installed and the WiDi works first time.

 

When the same hardware is wiped and Windows 7 Enterprise 64 is loaded and the same installation of drivers and widgets loaded in the same order - it does not work - at all.

 

Toshiba have not been able to say why it won't work, but have suggested the following:

" Win 7 Enterprise does not support WiDi due to the additional built in VPN security it has as part of the Base OS (Ie Enterprise does not need a VPN as this is built in, this could cancel out the connectivity protocols of WiDi as the TV / Adapter cannot make a secure connection to Win7 Enterprise to allow for HDCP to engage."

 

This is really important to us in order to allow completely wireless communication for presentations using in- built battery, WiFi and WiDi on laptops.  But as our SOE is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 it seems to be no-go.

 

 

Any comments?
