Try downloading updated Win7 drivers for all the components from the manufacturers' website. The driver set that comes with Win7 isn't perfect. I had a few issues when I installed it on my netbook and driver updates worked.

You should be able to, unless microsoft changed the way drivers worked.

is this related to you recent post about your mates pc, also did you use the win 7 compatibilty test, it goes through your current setup and detects hardware that you may have issues with, my soundcard was the only real prob to start with but is ok now and have evrthing running ok, more or less, you may be better of with xp

also run a driver prog like driver genius, theyre on most the torrent sites

i like windows 7. i installed it on my new computer and my old laptop. works fucking great!!! not sure what the deal is with this shit though. i thought that maybe it had something to do with the OS install, but theres nothing pointing to the actual install.

its not that bad, the main thing i wanted it for was the dx 10/11 for games since xp wont go higher than 9 but on the whole have found it great and a litter faster, will be a while before i get a dx 11 card thoguh £££ ,may as well wait till they come down in price and then grab a load of games

prob is hardware conflicts dude, when xp is up and running again try the compatibility test Here

So you use *NIX/OS X?  Cause XP is a completely outdated piece of shit at this point, and if you think it's better than Win7 :lolocaust:
