Though I agree those problems are frustrating, you have to remember those are the risks you take when you test BETA and RC software...Hopefully by the RTM or Retail those problems are fixed for you so you can enjoy Windows 7 for the great OS that it is..
It's not Microsoft's fault. The manufacturers need to write updated drivers for these devices.
Remember, this is only the RC version, it's not the final product.
I'm sure these "driver writers" are scrambling as fast as they can.
Agreed, as I stated in my earlier post tou yourproblem:
It was bad enough that my fingerprint reader wouldn't work with Windows 7, but when my HP printer software wouldn't install and my Creative webcam wouldn't work, that was the last straw. I'm not going to fool with Windows 7 until they get their act together. I thought it would be more similar to Vista than it is, only with some of the bugs worked out, but it's even more finicky. I'm really disappointed because otherwise I liked it.
Hey whoosh,
Certainly glad to have you back
And yoiu can take down your pirate logo
I had trouble getting my HP1020 installed. Of course, it wasn't a snap under Vista either. I did get my HP1020 running fine under Windows7. Some people should run betas. High on that list would be those who think all the bugs would be worked out.
Just wait for Windows7 SP1.
Lol You are quite right to suggest all the bugs will not be worked out first time Windows7 goes on sale. It has always been so follow up packs to address issues arrive down the line .
Yet to have an OS that is as good as win7 even b4 issue of service packs etc suggest this is going to be the best MS have ever produced to date .
