HP DV5 Laptop and Windows 7 - driver issues  

John - Thanks for your suggestions. I used the snipping took and made some images bit how do I put them into the reply so that they can be seen on the forum?

The power management problem I have been having is with my microsoft wireless mouse. I pull the usb adapter for the mouse and power management works great.
Windows 7 automatic updates is not bringing up the HID non-user input data filter update to fix the problem. I download the HID non-user input data filter here http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/...iewBasket.aspx, now I just have to fiqure out where to put it or how to install it.
Any ideas?

Good Morning Lappydog -
I went to the link in your message. I allowed it to install and saved it as a Favorite in Internet Explorer. I hope that is what You were asking. Also - It was somewhat laborious - but I went back to my Vista Install Listed all hardware in the Device Manager - names, versions, and driver dates. This allowed me to know for sure that the install of Vista Premium was equivalent - at least - to my Windows 7 Install. Let me know if I can assist You in any way. All the while we are learning together. God's Speed to You. Patrick

Justed used a logitech wireless mouse with my laptop and power management works great.
Too bad microsoft cant make it simple to use their own wireless mouse with their operating system (searching I see this was a problem with vista also, but auto update fixed it) , I know this is a beta, maybe the HID will auto updat in the next W7 version.

Lappydog - Windows 7 ATIRadeon Drivers have been posted to the AMD/ATI site, look at the posts on this site, those will lead you there. Once installed they work good. This beta of Windows 7 works much better than when I tested Vista. One very inmportant point to that last comment is that the dv5-11s5nr I am using has alot better resources. It occurs to me that the people that say that Vista is a sub-standard system are just not unwilling to consider that sufficent RAM as well as sufficent Video Capabilities are crucial in a well performing PC. I noticed also that the HID compliant mouse had loaded itself in my Device Manager - nothing special required. Good Hunting

I installed the Windows 7 ATI Radeon Drivers this afternoon. Shortly after I noticed the power management was working with my laptop and my microsoft mouse plugged in.
