Windows 7 guests up to now cannot be installed without sighted assistance. Unlike another product there is currently no "Easy Install" feature. Also Windows 7 guests do not come with a sound card driver, however Windows 2000, XP and Vista do. For now I examine the virtual screen by printing screen shots and performing OCR (optical character recognition) on the image. That way I know what is happening on the screen. Hope this helps.
