So i used this f/w update for the samsung f3 drive Link Removed - Invalid URL
and i formated and reinstalled windows 7. Its not a surprise that on evening it is working, the real test is wether it will be working tomorrow.
Firefox has crashed one time though, (with firefox being the first/only prog installed after drivers)
I see some errors though in event viewer/custom views/administrative events
Error: InitializePrintProvider failed for provider inetpp.dll. This can occur because of system instability or a lack of system resources.
