If your Touchsmart PC came with Vista, good luck EVER getting it to work with Windows 7.

I have been battling with HP for 2 weeks on this topic only to be told that the Windows 7 drivers online and MADE for

my Touchsmart PC (Model IQ526) are courtesy drivers. Basically they do not support them nor will they updated them.

The site CLEARLY tells you that the system support Windows 7, provide  the drivers but then tell you "your crap out

of luck"..What a pathetic company.I SO regret I ever bought this system. I have problems with the Video Card,

Touchscreen and capture card. And HP support is TOTALLY useless.

I will NEVER EVER buy another HP product again or recommend it to anyone.

That's funny, My IQ506t and IQ846 work simply fine on Windows 7 with the updates Win7 TS apps. I know, nothing ruins a good rant better then facts..

Thanks

Please please repost the zip files as I am having a hella time trying to fix various blue screen flashes, device errors etc on my touchsmart 600-1365qd w/ 1.5T memory.  I upgraded from win7 64bit premium embedded to Win7 Ultimate. Now, I have 2 os and only 4 of my processors working. Inexplicably, one of the os is win server 2008 and the other Vista?? I'm not getting any help Hp, The IT remotely accessed my computer to "help" me and this is what I'm left with.  I would really, really appreciate if you could have those files available again.

Sincerly,

Tech-savvy, but NOT IT, home user..
