Bootcamp 3.2 Windows 7 Brightness

How about resetting PRAM after removing rEFIt?

(I didn't do this, but I did reset PRAM a few times before removing rEFIt)

Yes, I've tried that.

Though in anycase, I'd rather have rEFIt on rather than off, since it lets me change icons on the bootloader, and adds some other things that are useful.

Ya, same. No way am I giving up rEFIt. I have OSX/Win/Linux on here, so rEFIt is the best way to cope with all three. Hopefully rEFIt is just a symptom and not the cause.

Same here -- zapping PRAM and bypassing rEFIt brought back the brightness controls. Weird.

Same problem and solution here - rEFIt was the culprit causing brightness not to work in Windows. Thanks for pointing this out.

Has anyone reported this problem to the refit sourceforge bug tracker?

You sir, are a genius. I commend you on your brilliance.

Disabling UAC helps complete the installation of BootCamp_3.2.2792.exe (is that the latest?) but the brightness control still only works if I bypass rEFIt when booting up.

Problem solved for me!

This is what I did:

Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings > slide setting to 'Never notify' > Reboot.

That did the trick.

Ooo, I'll give that a try. I've been using BootChamp to boot Windows each time.

This is a completely new installation? Because your Windows install sound pooched to me and the best strategy sounds like a reinstall unless someone has a better suggestion.

I am having a similar issue where the brightness changes but it does not display the level of brightness.

BootCamp 3.2, I have not tried yet. You can leverage a software utility named Mac Brightness Control to adjust your MacBook Air brightness.

Beaware it's free for 15 days only.

Using rEFIt broke my brightness control when logging into Windows7, its ok if I use the alt key.

tassoart, that's it! Solved my problem. Thanks!
