So. The girlfriend was totally hating on windows vista. I can see where that hatred stems from. But when we upgraded to windows 7 a lot of things started to happen more frequently, or started happening for the first time ever.
__List__
1)The computer seems to shut down out of the blue more often. This i know can be due to over heating issues. We do run a cooling pad under the laptop. It seems to be shutting down more since the change to windows 7 though.
2)It seems that the computer goes into (not --edit-- responding) mode a lot when we are on firefox. It goes away after a while though (generally less than a minute).
3)Her touch pad doesn't use the scroll option on the side or bottom anymore. It used to use it in windows vista. Now i know that it could be a software or drivers issue but in the device mangier there are no yellow <?> or <!>.
__Suggestions__
Do you think i need to post her laptop build to further help in the discovery of this issue? If so what file would i need to post from her computer? Or how would i look up and see what hardware she has on it. I know there is free-ware out there to do this but a large portion of it wont let you save the info and what have you.
Any ways, thanks Tech-Forums!
