Hi,

try using the drivers for windows 7. If they fail to work then you could try right clicking the driver itself, choose properties and look for compatibility. Make sure it's changed to windows 7 and give it a try.
Merry Christmas too.. :)

I'm with kemical. If you have a problem with the default drivers, then try the Win 7 drivers. In most cases go to the device manufacturers web site for the latest drivers. The PC manufacturers often are a little behind as they only post those drivers that they have had time to test and certify.
