Maybe I or someone else here can point you in a suitable direction. W7 certainly has a few "features", but most of them can be worked arround. We need to know what version of W7. Starter, Home Premuim, Ultimate, and if 32 or 64 bit. Plus, the salient details of the hardware it's living (or trying to) on, CPU, RAM, desktop/laptop, make/model. etc... (Not all hardware is equal, sadly.) Send that off list if needed, so as not to overly polute this august establishment. The "Stack Overflow" website is pretty good, but can take some searching to get past the kiddies. Generally if you google the basic problem, such as "win7 usb port power management" you get prety good hits. Off list reply if needed. Regards. Dave B.
