Had the very same problem trying to update the dock in my Vista64 system. No way to get the drivers installed once the dock enters bootloader mode; I had to do it on my father's WinXP notebook.
Razer should really fix this, as not all have a notebook or multiple OS in their systems, and 64bit OS are going to become more and more common.

I followed BelligerentBill said that F8 Disable the signature enforcement.
Then I did the upgrade procedure again in win7 64-bit RC.
This time the firmware updater run both mouse and dock upgrade smoothly.

Best way would be to add an option in the drivers, assuming it can be done.

"During charging, the battery indicator on the mouse will blink. When charging in wireless mode, the Charging Dock will emit a pulsing glow. Once the battery is fully charged, the battery indicator will be fully lighted up and the Charging Dock will cease to pulse."

My mamba battery indicator LED and scroll LED are turned off.
When I was FW1.3, the charging was same the menu description above - full charge = dock stop pulse.
After I flashed the FW 1.7, I discovered the mouse/dock do not stop charging. The dock LED continously pulse after I charged mamaba for 6 hours.
Does anyone has this condition?

When I was FW1.03, I never turn mamba to off mode. The dock still stop pulse when full charged.

I just put my mouse onto the dock before bed, leaving it in the ON position and it seems to charge fine (FW 1.06).  3 bars currently as I just woke up.  I do this so I can just pick the mouse up and it's ready to go. :/  Haven't had any issues.

For patching in Vista64, you have to do as mentioned above.  Hold/Press F8 before windows is loading, and choose the option to disable driver enforcement.  Then you will be able to patch both the mouse and dock with the latest firmware.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the reason 'EasyBCD' does not work is because of the commands it uses, were disabled in SP1.  bcdedit /set DDISABLE_DRIVER_something something OFF, it doesn't work anymore, and you need to use the F8 method.

Edit 2: I charged with the mouse "Off" last night, and I just wanted to mention the difference I noticed.  When I woke up, the mouse was no longer lit up as it stays when in the "On" position.  I guess it turns the lights off once it reaches full charge.  The dock still pulsates, but the mouse itself was unlit.

Hey Guys,

Regarding the charging dock glowing and the battery charging. I personally tested this out on a couple systems here and could not replicate this problem.   If you are still having this problem send me a PM with your OS and system specs and I will look into this for  you.
