Windows 7 Driver Support Uncertain
Windows 7’s RTM has been through a lot of rumors. Most 64-bit desktop will not be able to scan from HP networked all-in-one printer, even though printing will not be a problem. Microsoft and HP are not releasing working drivers for devices supported by Windows Vista for the launch of Windows 7. The peripherals also do not have a good Windows 7 experience. The specs for the drivers download page for a printer usually reveals Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit links for drivers. The driver comes in the form of a notice which reads “Installing the Product with the USB Cable and Using the Driver Located in Windows 7 Until the Product Driver is Available for Download.” All in all, the workaround is pretty decent and the “real” product driver is due for release in “late January 2010.” One can get a full tutorial on the new Windows 7 with InfoWorld’s “Windows 7: The essential guide” compilation and “Windows 7 Deep Dive” a 21-page PDF report. The certification process for a driver for Windows 7 is a lot more scrupulous than that of Windows Vista.
The new Windows 7 has the ability to boot up faster and go into sleep and up in a few seconds. The users will notice that they get systems that are a far less crammed up, up to the extent that with certain cases there would be nothing else than a recycle bin on the desktop when a PC is booted for the first time. Apple has been quite an influence with its success on Windows 7. It has pushed Microsoft and computer makers to built a better rapport between the hardware and software.
At present, it is a wonderful combination of a hardware and software division working together. The two entities still have a lot of room for improvement and both are apt and have a lot of calibre individually also as well. While Microsoft has incorporated a new taskbar, Dell is working on the dock for Vista to launch its application.

My HP Notebook crashes when I close the lid, it doesn’t go into sleep mode. Called HP 7 times, no help. Fix?
I recently purchased an HP Pavillion dv6500 notebook, 1GB ram, Vista Premium, Intel Core Duo, 32-bit operating system. Ever since I first got it, it has been crashing when entering sleep mode. Basically, whenever I try to close the top of the laptop, the notebook does not enter into sleep mode (flashing power light). When I re-open the top of the notebook, I have to manually force power-off, then re-boot (unless it’s been closed for a long time, then at a certain point, it just reboots itself, and the login screen is waiting for me when I open the notebook). I’ve been on the phone with HP customer service 7 times so far, and every time they’ve “fixed it”, the problem has returned within a few days. They do manage to “fix” the problem at least temporarily (by flashing the bios, removing and re-installing difference devices, turning off hibernate mode, etc.), but the problem always comes back. If I can’t find a permanent fix, I’m going to return the notebook, this is ridiculous.
Sorry for your problem….but….I have found through experience to never put my laptop into sleep or hibernation modes.
I have no need ( time wise ) to have instant replay on stuff I was working on. I finish my work, save it, go back to desktop and then shut down my equipment.
I don’t want any components of any type in a standby mode while I am transporting such valuable equipment that is extremely effected by movement or bumping.
