The 28&#8243; I-INC monitor was not recognized as a PnP monitor; therefore the native rsolution of 1920&#215;1200 cannot be set even after upgating the nVidia graphic card (8800-GT) with the latest driver. The monitor needs to be changed to\u00a0 a &#8216;generic PnP monitor&#8217; via the Control panel before the desired resolution can be set. You may need to &#8216;add resolution&#8217; in the nVidia control panel if the resolution is not already listed.<\/p>\n<p>Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 sound card was not recognized by Windows 7. There is no update driver from Creative. Just install the XP driver; after Windows 7 complains about &#8216;no device found&#8217;,\u00a0re-install with recommended settings and it will go through. 5.1 feature will not work (only 2-channel sound).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update 2010-11-09:<\/strong> apparently the XP driver for Live 5.1 may cause Blue Screen of Death at random times.
