We should ask Kari to add some Suomi here. that would make it intersting..

Guys, the OP's thread is not the United Nations - save it for the chillout room please.



Cannman, I suggest you check in device manager for any exclamation points or yellow triangles beside any devices.

I suspect you may not have your chipset drivers installed. This would go towards explaining your USB, keyboard, BSoD's and printer problems.

Have you run Windows Update to let it find updated drivers for devices? ie your printer

Very good suggestion. That might also explain the wild cursor, if his mouse is sending ramdon signals interpreted like movements or clicks.
Awaiting news...

Canman, check if your drivers and BIOS are up to date. HP does not have any Win7 drivers yet, the last Vista 64 BIOS is version 5.32 from 12/2008 (Select software and drivers HP Pavilion Media Center m8430f Desktop PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English))
Asus does not support your board directly since it is OEM, I checked if they had any BIOS updates, but they don't list the IPIBL-LB. You might want to check their site for a similar board and use those drivers, they have new Win7x64 drivers available. ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-
HP does not have any chipset drivers, but the board uses a Intel G33 chipset, and Intel has an update, you can find it here: Download Search Results
Did you add the GeForce 8500GT? The original specs call for Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 3100. If you do have a NVidia board, you want to visit Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers . Click on Option 2 to detect your drivers and it will tell you what the latest updates are
If you have the intel graphics you might also want to run their driver detection tool as well, it might tell you if something else is missing: Intel® Driver Update Utility for graphics drivers - Check for the latest driver

That is all I can think of right now. Let us know how it works

Hey Canman, any progress?

an at home work computer however the fact I cannot run Quickbooks is unacceptable - meaning sending invoices, statement, etc. There are fixes available online for the pdf convertor problem that I have fixed on my work and friend's pcs (Vista x64) but the fix will not work Win 7.

Canman, I have been running Quickbooks Pro 2007 in all of the Beta,RC & RTM versions with no problems. You do have to set it to run in admin mode. Haven't updated QB to the newer versions because i don't need the new features.
