Have you tried using different drivers? This may be happening because the drivers are not fully compatible with win7.
You can also try running a repair install.

Repair Install
Did you run SFC /scannow up to three times?
It will not repair everything in one pass if it finds problems. Did a window pop up that says it cannot fix all the problems?
If so you run it again up to three times.

Is this a clean install, or an inferior factory pre-install or in-place Upgrade from VIsta?
Consider a clean install for best performance of Win7: re-install windows 7

pls guys solve my other problem as well
Power Icon Disabled even if laptop is not an AC Power
i ended up searching this result...
but when i tried this cmd gave an error that it is not a command, when i used /help this was the result...can someone tell me how can i use the above method of "/globalpowerflag"...u need to type "powercfg.exe /globalpowerflag off /option batteryicon " then enter,
then "powercfg.exe /globalpowerflag on /option batteryicon" then enter again.
After this go back to properties and under the notification area tab, now the system icons should be selectable.
Code:<SCHEME_GUID> (optional) Specifies the GUID of the power scheme to display, can be obtained by using powercfg -l. <SUB_GUID> (optional) Specifies the GUID of the subgroup to display. Requires a SCHEME_GUID to be provided. If neither SCHEME_GUID or SUB_GUID are provided, the settings of the current user's active power scheme are displayed. If SUB_GUID is not specified, all settings in the specified power scheme are displayed. -CHANGE, -X Modifies a setting value in the current power scheme. Usage: POWERCFG -X <SETTING> <VALUE> <SETTING> Specifies one of the following options: -monitor-timeout-ac <minutes> -monitor-timeout-dc <minutes> -disk-timeout-ac <minutes> -disk-timeout-dc <minutes> -standby-timeout-ac <minutes> -standby-timeout-dc <minutes> -hibernate-timeout-ac <minutes> -hibernate-timeout-dc <minutes> Example: POWERCFG -Change -monitor-timeout-ac 5 This would set the monitor idle timeout value to 5 minutes when on AC power. -CHANGENAME Modifies the name of a power scheme and optionally it's description.

Usage: POWERCFG -SETDCVALUEINDEX <SCHEME_GUID> <SUB_GUID> <SETTING_GUID> <SettingIndex> <SCHEME_GUID> Specifies a power scheme GUID and may be obtained by using PowerCfg /L. <SUB_GUID> Specifies a subgroup of power setting GUID and may be obtained by using "PowerCfg /Q." <SETTING_GUID> Specifies an individual power setting GUID and may be obtained by using "PowerCfg /Q". <SettingIndex> Specifies which of the list of possible values this setting will be set to. Example: POWERCFG -SetDcValueIndex <GUID> <GUID> <GUID> 5 This would set the power setting's DC value to the 5th entry in the list of possible values for this power setting. -HIBERNATE, -H Enables-Disables the hibernate feature. Hibernate timeout is not supported on all systems. Usage: POWERCFG -H <ON|OFF> POWERCFG -H -Size <PercentSize> -Size Specifies the desired hiberfile size in percentage of the total memory. The default size cannot be smaller than 50. This switch will also enable the hiberfile automatically. -AVAILABLESLEEPSTATES, -A Reports the sleep states available on the system Attempts to report reasons why sleep states are unavailable. -DEVICEQUERY Return a list of devices that meet the specified criteria. Usage: POWERCFG -DEVICEQUERY <queryflags> <queryflags> Secifies one of the following criteria: wake_from_S1_supported Return all devices that support waking the system from a light sleep state. wake_from_S2_supported Return all devices that support waking the system from a deeper sleep state. wake_from_S3_supported Return all devices that support waking the system from the deepest sleep state. wake_from_any Return all devices that support waking the system from any sleep state. S1_supported List devices supporting light sleep. S2_supported List devices supporting deeper sleep. S3_supported List devices supporting deepest sleep. S4_supported List devices supporting hibernation. wake_programmable List devices that are user-configurable to wake the system from a sleep state. wake_armed List devices that are currently configured to wake the system from any sleep state. all_devices Return all devices present in the system. all_devices_verbose Return verbose list of devices. Example: POWERCFG -DEVICEQUERY wake_armed -DEVICEENABLEWAKE Enable the device to wake the system from a sleep state. Usage: POWERCFG -DEVICEENABLEWAKE <devicename> <devicename> Specifies a device retrieved using "PowerCfg -DEVICEQUERY wake_programmable". Example: POWERCFG -DEVICEENABLEWAKE "Microsoft USB IntelliMouse Explorer" -DEVICEDISABLEWAKE <devicename> disable the device from waking the system Disable the device from waking the system from a sleep state Usage: POWERCFG -DEVICEDISABLEWAKE <devicename> Specifies a device retrieved using "PowerCfg -DEVICEQUERY wake_armed". -IMPORT Imports all power settings from the specified file. Usage: POWERCFG -IMPORT <filename> <GUID> <filename> Specify a fully-qualified path to a file generated by using "PowerCfg -EXPORT parameter". <GUID> (optional) The settings are loaded into a power scheme represented by this GUID.

May only be used with the -TRACE parameter. -DURATION <SECONDS> - Specify the number of seconds to observe system behavior. Default is 60 seconds. -WAKETIMERS Enumerate the active wake timers. If enabled, the expiration of a wake timer wakes the system from sleep and hibernate states.
What exactly did you type? You dont type the quotes, remember, also be carefully about spaces in the command.
sahildave1991,
Did you run some registry optimization tool on your system back in time?
If yes, then its possible that the registry is damaged by that tool and it will be hard if not impossible to fix. Reinstallation could be the considered.
If no, you could look in task manager for some suspicious process or service. Some scheduled task could also change system settings.
Did you check for malware etc.?
