    Hi rtech69, and welcome to the forums.. Unfortunately, XP drivers are not compatible with Windows 7, however 9 times out of 10, Windows 7 will install the correct driver for your machine ... The best thing to do is to go to your computers support site, and download the windows 7 drivers before hand and store them on a flash drive... If no drivers for windows 7 are listed, you can use the Vista drivers and install them in Vista compatibility mode...
