I decided that this was the only PC I was willing to mess up and not lose anything important. . . . . so I did it.
This is the only problem I have com across so far . . . I CAN'T GET VIDEO OR SOUND OVER HDMI!!! As a matter of fact, I can't get into the log-in screen. All displays up until this point has never given me trouble.
Is anyone else having HDMI display troubles with Win7?
The Aetheros network adaptor option still works great for an older network adaptor.
