Hi all,
Have a HP Pavilion laptop that came with Windows 8.1 then updated to Windows 10, ran fine
I have a SSD and I decided to put Windows 7 on this laptop, it installed fine and everything but now it runs 20 degrees hotter than it did on Windows 10
Windows 10 idle was around 45 degrees while Windows 7 is around 60 degrees idle?!
It ran Windows 10 smoothly and Windows 7 runs smoothly...

Logitech Quickcam 4000 Pro very slow!
Yes, I know Logitech Quickcam 4000 is very old and not officially supported in Windows 7.... But eventually my Windows 7 (32 bit) does eventually find a fully functional driver for it. Both camera and built-in microphone are reported as "Logitech Quickcam 4000 pro" in the Device Manager and driver version 10.5.1.2023.
So everything looks OK and it does functionally work, but... I get only...

I can start typing again. It seems that the notebook keyboard also stops responding. I am using external monitors via e-port replicators. There have been times when I am able to type ONLY in a certain field. For...

System hangs for a few minutes with HDD light constantly on
Hi,
System hangs and stays unresponsive for a few minutes, randomly, and when this happens HDD light is constantly on, it seems something is stuck. I have to patiently wait until it responds. I think only svchost.exe has any activity (as stated by resource monitor).
I would like to fix this annoying problem, but I don't know how.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. I want to install Windows XP onto a machine running Win7 x64.

Windows slow shutting down-restart after installing HP drivers.
Hi,
I have an issue with my Windows 7 x64 Pro installation.
After I installed the HP LaserJet Professional CM1415fn drivers the pc became very slow at restarting or shutting down. The problem is printer related because I found a temporary workaround by stopping the spooler service and then the restart-shut down speed is normal again.
The printer is connected by ethernet and maybe this is the...
