Might want to ask @ our sister site (eightforums.com). The users there have more experience with the issues.

Probably just a driver issue but if you went from xp>>WCP there may not be a current driver for it and if so you will need to install it in compatibility mode

To install an older driver in win 7 you need to install it in compatibility mode.


To install in compatibility mode right click the installer, go to properties, then compatibility. Choose the appropriate OS
