Computer Central: Fiddling required with some printers

Joe User | 9:44 p.m. July 6, 2009

Heart-felt plea to Microsoft: PLEASE start working with ATI, nVidia, Brother, HP, Dell, Intel and the other major hardware vendors so that they will have drivers (especially video drivers) ready to go BEFORE October 22nd. We don't want another Vista debacle. We want it all to run as smoothly as possible, and even if a driver issue isn't Microsoft's fault, Microsoft will be blamed anyway. Are you listening Microsoft? Are you working with nVidia and the others RIGHT NOW????

My nVidia video cards and HP printers work great with 64 bit Windows 7 without any fuss. In fact, I put 64 bit 7 on an older laptop with a 2GHz dual core processor and just 1 gig of ram. It runs far better than it did with 32 bit XP. Handles photoshop and every printer I've tried on it just fine. It would obviously run even better with more RAM but I've been impressed with what it's able to do with a gig.
