Is build 7600 actually RTM or is it just people blowing their loads too early?
It's probably what's intended to be RTM, but is still undergoing a final round of QA before MS proclaims it so.

The same trick that worked for upgrading the beta to RC works for upgrading RC to RTM.
He wouldn't be able to avoid activating it all the way until next March like he needs, though. Unless there's some trick to avoiding activation even longer, but at that point he'd have essentially just plain pirated Win7.

A web search says that NTativrv01 is related to ATI video cards. Odd that that would relate to sound drivers?
Some video cards act as a simplified, digital-only audio device now so that you can send audio through them over HDMI. It shouldn't affect his original problem with the Realtek drivers, though.

Is there a way in to create a user that can't login? I want to have a user that can access a share, but nothing else.

If that isn't possible, is there a way to at least not show that user at the startup screen?
Pull up the 'Local Security Policy' program, look under Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment for the 'Deny log on locally' entry, and add the user to that. There's one for remote desktop access too, if that's a concern.
