Problems that i need help in solving:

1) Installed without any whimper, plays its "music" when booting.
Speaker icon has an "X", updated driver, no joy. Click on "X" and get
"one or more Audio Services is not running".
BUT.
According to the Computer Services list, there is NOTHING even
remotely like that!!
Nice BS.

2) Initially, could find a driver for: Multimedia Video Controller: PCI
bus 1,device 6, Function 0.
It is a video capture card, and it works (!). Tried installing an
outdated driver (!! accepted!!), and the Device Manager is happy now or
that.

3) In selecting the folder Documents & Settings, i get Access Denied.
How in the hell do i fix that?
Better yet, fix that problem for ALL other folders and files that may
have the same "restriction" in one step (not each one individually as i
may or may not find them)?
OH.
While i leave that message box open, i see a green bar slowly
advancing..What the
heck is that??

4) Access Denied also found at ..\Program Data\Documents, ..\Program
Data\Desktop, and other (but not all) sub-folders.
Again how can i fix?

I hate Win7 in that it is so tight and secretive.
But newer programs "demand" it.


I got that "What can I do if........." box when I installed 7 - it was
for a Dell all in one from Freecycle, the previous owner said there were
no drivers for it on Win7.

I clicked that "What can I do if........." - IIRC it took me to a
dialogue box with an option to "install with optimal defaults" - I've
been using the Dell all for one ever since.

You do have to make at least one pass of attempting to install the
product's drivers, and it sometimes takes a bit of trial & error to
provoke the What can......... box to appear when you want it.

A bit of perseverance usually pays off.
Well, i did install the "obsolete" drivers for sound and multimedia,
Win7 complained but seemingly took them.
A few boots later i had to do them again; now listed twice in the
hardware list..
