[QUOTE="squeabs, post: 858171, member: 78935"] You could try re-installing the drivers. However, I've found that windows doesn't like this very much. It conflicts with the current information it has about your devices. If it's giving you this many headaches, I would say re-install windows. Make sure everything is up to date (Microsoft updates, Boot Camp, etc,) and see if that helps. You could go directly to the manufacturer's website, but that will probably take a while and cause you a few headaches. Even then, it still may not work properly for you. EDIT: The most important thing with windows is making sure it's up to date, completely. With windows on a mac via Boot Camp, keeping Boot Camp up to date is important too. I've found that, on occasion, the updates you receive from Microsoft will actually mess with the drivers you currently have on your system. When I had a PC, I found that after a Microsoft update, some of my devices didn't work, but it's an unfortunate risk we all take when updating windows. It's important to keep windows updated, but be wary. If, after a fresh install (if you choose to go that route) and all updates are installed, your devices give you the same problem, it may have something to do with Microsoft updates. Hope this helps.
