Windows 7 allows you to burn ISO files (images) directly with no third-party plug-ins. All you have to do is right click on an ISO, and click “Burn Disk Image”.

My experience was a bit different, had to click “open with” then choose “Windows Disk Image Burner”, but it works as advertised. Too bad there isn’t a way to mount an ISO without 3rd party software, I guess we will have to wait until Windows 8, or W7 SP1??

A recent eventlog entry was occurring very often and seemed to occur after an update of the Java runtime.  The error reported was :

I found that the soution was to modify the path used for the Java runtime files to the most recent version.  The registy key is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BlackBerry MDS Connection Service\ImagePath

This contains a long string.  Its easiest to copy the string to notepad to work with it.  Locate the path to the java runtime files within the string (it will look something like this: “\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_07\”) and replace it with the most current path.  Restart the Blackberry MDS service and you’re done.
