Constant Reboots With NVIDIA 9800M GT (Samsung R710)
I have been trawling this site since Oct 22 for help with my problem, some pointers have worked to some extent but now I have reached a dead end so here's my post: I have custom installed Windows 7 64 over an OEM Vista Home Premium on my Samsung R710 - a very pretty little laptop. Everything works great except the driver for my video card, an Nvidia 9600M GT. According to Dev Manager my GPU is currently running under a VGA compatible video controller which can only give me basic video display, no Aero or proper gaming display. After struggling to find an Nvidia driver that would recognize my card similar to other posters in this forum, I came across the 186.81 driver (186.81_notebook_win7_winvista_64bit_international_whql) on the Nvidia site. Using Internet Explorer, this driver is automatically detected for my system and after downloading detects my GPU and installs right over the VGA driver. Great. Not so great: I cannot boot into Windows 7. I get the 'Windows is Starting' screen with the whirling lights and the beatific windows logo shining away but just before the mouse pointer should appear the display completely switches off (not black screen) and reboots ad infinitum. Only a safe mode disinstall of 186.81 and 2 reboots will allow to get back into Windows 7 with the VGA driver back in control. The funny thing is, after looking at other peoples problems on this site I DID get 186.81 to work for a few hours. Aero was working and I was playing the new Dyson game on Steam, but a sudden reboot dropped me into the cycle described above. Because I had also done some messing around with the OEM drivers from Samsung I thought I had screwed something up; so, I executed a recovery back to Vista and a completely new custom install of Windows 7 64. I reinstalled 186.81 but immediately met the same reboot problem. Now then. I have tried monkeying around with the VGA driver file: vgapnp.sys in system32 (no change to reboot situation), looking at ntbtlog.txt (completely fruitless), updating the BIOS from Samsung (this driver fails to load in Windows 7), every driver someone has recommended (the drivers usually install but result in same reboot situation) and the MS Update Catalog drivers (same reboot deal). Essentially, I can get a compatible Nvidia driver to install but my system will not accept it and reboots until remove the offending driver in safe mode.

Camera And Fn Function Drivers ..
I installed Windows 7 earlier, along with a dual boot with Vista, but it appears to have stopped both the camera and the Fn functions working in both 7 and Vista. I have tried using the drivers from the Samsung site, to no avail. Any ideas ?

Control Monitor Backlight Using Ordinary Webcam
Cool Windows 7 application that controls monitor backlight using ordinary webcam If you have a webcam attached to your desktop computer then there’s a good chance it’s either sitting around gathering dust or taking hourly pictures of your uneventful window. One way or another, getting any value out of it when you’re not video chatting would be a nice bonus. Now with Windows 7’s Sensors API and a neat application, not only could it be productive but your eyes might thank you for it. One of the more interesting entries into the Windows 7 “Code 7 Contest” is an application called “BLUntrl”. This conceptually simple but highly practical application lets you do on your desktop what newer model laptops also do – automatic backlight control. However since desktops don’t have ambient light sensors built-in, this application turns your webcam into one through the “magic of software” and then hooks into the native Windows 7 Sensors API and the monitor configuration APIs to adjust the backlight of all your attached monitors for optimal brightness, according to ambient lighting conditions. Anyone who use a computer near a window can easily testify how much lighting conditions can change and affect the readability of monitors. Also, night owls like myself will also know just how glaring a brightened monitor can be in a dark room. In both cases, adjusting the brightness can help. In the accompanying video submitted by the developer he also suggests building in a feature that can detect motion using the webcams which perhaps could be used to intuitively suspend the monitors if the user leaves the desk. more & video demonstration.

HP Pavilion Dv5z-1000 Screen Backlight Going In And Out
I thought this was a wire short but HP (or the person I talked to) seems to be convinced that it is a BIOS problem and said I need to contact Microsoft about it. So here I am, or at least close enough to it. I have had my computer for about a year now and have had no issues with it. I switched over to Windows 7, 32-bit RC Build 7100 about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Well for about the last week my computers back light flickers and seems to just die every once and awhile and then comes back to life. It is kind of rare that it happens, but frequently enough to be a problem and a pain. I skimmed over the forums and didn't see any posts regarding this issue. Please forgive me if I missed it. Does anyone know what could be some possible solutions to this problem? PS. I have also tried sitting in BIOS to see if the screen messes up there too, and it does, so I guess that eliminates it from being a graphics card problem? Idk, HP told me to try it.

Samsung R60 Drivers
I was wondering if Samsung have released drivers for the R60 laptop that are fully functional in Windows 7, when I installed Windows 7 I had to search for all of the drivers myself, I was given a disk with the laptop but it only works in Vista. When running a benchmark test, the graphics were much better in Vista because I dont think I can find the right driver for the graphics card in Windows 7. Also, a lot of the Fn buttons dont work anymore, for example changing the brightness, turning off the display, showing the battery level on screen, etc. I assume this is done through the chipset driver which I never had to install or even looked for. Also, one last thing, with my graphics card on Vista I get a little ATI icon in the notification area, along with the Catalyst Control Centre, although I never get this in Windows 7.

Samsung J600 Drivers Are Failed To Be Seen
I was on the Samsungs offical site to get USB drivers for my mobile so my Windows 7 (Build 7201) could see my phone and I would bea ble to get photos off it and all that. I did have the program of running it at first, but I did run the installation in compatability mode to bypass this error. And it isntalled perfectly, but despite it being installed properly my mobile still isn't found. Infact Windows sees my mobile as "CUSTT13 Development Platform" instead of Samsung or how ever it is normally seen. Is there anyway to fix this USB driver issue so I'm capable of connecting my mobile to my PC without any problems.

Samsung BlackJack II Drivers Will Not Install Properly
Alright so, I just got a new computer yesterday and it just so happened to have Windows 7 64-Bit on it. I am a new user, that in a few days has switched from XP to 7. I own a Samsung BlackJack II, which I have done countless modifications to, and now, I cannot seem to sync it up, let alone, connect it to my computer. When I plug it in, via USB. It worked the first time, synced it and everything with Windows Mobile Device Center, but then when I unplugged and replugged it in, driver's were corrupt(obviously), and tried uninstalling it all, and then reinstalling them all, drivers and WMDC, and I get a little notification that informs me that the drivers were unsuccessfully installed. Which is no longer making any sense to me... At all! lol, so I was wandering could you guys help me out here? I'm new to Windows 7 and I hope that this Community, gives me a lot of insight, and information to get back on my feet.

What Function Or Feature Should A Browser Support ?
In another topic about browsers, one member said concerning their browser of choice, "Speed isn't really an issue. Instead, it's more about the browser's features." I thought that was an extremely interesting point, so rather than drive that thread [further] off-topic, I decided to start this thread, with a comment, and a couple questions, and ask that you add your own comments as to what you expect a browser, your next browser, to do or support. One necessary ground rule - this is not about which browser is better or not, just what you feel your next browser should do, or support. Features you like, must have, or would like to see. Or even features you don't like. A word processor should enable a user to create documents. An anti-malware scanner should detect and protect you from malware. A firewall should protect ports. An operating system should make all of them, and all your hardware work seamlessly together. History has shown us over and over again that when software makers start adding extra features and functions (some may say, "flashy lights" or "bells and whistles" - some may say, "bloat" or "foistware") to applications, anti-malware programs, firewalls, operating systems, etc., that our computers (hard drives, desktops, Start menus, and system resources - RAM and CPU clock cycles) and patience often tend to get bogged down with all that extra "fluff". With that in mind,What basic "function" or functions do you expect your browser to perform? What native (integrated) "features" must your browser include? What "add-on feature" or "plug-in" is a "must have" for you? Should it be native to all browsers?

PrintProcessor Crashed In EnumPrinters() Function
We do have since over 10 years a small application running in the more or less standard windows genprint prinprocessor, which is delivered with the DDK:  But in  Windows 7, and most possibly with Windows 2008 R2, the windows spooler system crashes while processing a print job in the function: EnumPrinters. To be more precise, the job is sent to the nirvana and the queue seem to be ready for the next job.  For test purposes we downsized to the original genprint from the DDK. In the file raw.cpp we added just one more function to write a debug file, which works perfectly.  Then right at the beginning of the function PrintRawJob()  a the simple EnumPrinters() call for get back the needed amount of output bytes for calling the function with PRINTER_INFO_2 is added like this:  ……… DocInfo.pDatatype  = pData->pDatatype;    /* Document data type */  { /* new for testing */    DWORD chNeeded=0, chReturned=0;    WriteAppendDebugFile("Debug in file before EnumPrinters ");     EnumPrinters(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL, NULL, 2, NULL, 0, &chNeeded, &chReturned);     WriteAppendDebugFile("Debug in file after EnumPrinters "); } /* new for testing */    /** Let the printer know we are starting a new document **/ if (!StartDocPrinter(pData->hPrinter, 1, (LPBYTE)&DocInfo)) { …….  The result is unfortunately a windows 7 crash. Our first log file entry is there, the second never shows up. As only one more additional line (EumFunction) was added, the trouble maker must be it.  Of course we used a standard Windows 7 provided driver.  What we try to find out with EnumPrinters is, which locally installed queue does use which print processor. Is there another reliable way to get this information, which runs in a print processor without using the EnumPrinters Function?
