    Thank you for the heads up on the RST-driver version! The installation went fine, except for a faulty USB flash drive, which sent me on a wild goose chase for a couple of hours before I realized that it had gone bad.

    Everything is running smoothly now. I'm glad I found this forum, I'm one of those people who switched from Mac to Windows. It wasn't by choice at first, but Win7 has grown on me, and my next new computer will most probably not be a Mac

    I've had the same USB flash drive problem, it's not fun.

    Congrats on your move to Windows
