I regret that I can't think of a way to help further. Keep your eyes and ears open though, and I'll respond again if I hear of anything similar. That sucks.

Here I was hoping that the GeForce issue might just be me. Oh well... As for bsplayer, I've never used it. Anyone else have any experience with this?

'Oh, it's just like it was before.' Not quite, but close enough to get by. It's certainly not a steep curve.

So I did a complete install on a new partition and see it ran perfect. Work with Win7 is not very different to Vista so far. I still need to play around a bit over the next weeks before I decide which OS to keep.

When you click on All Programs, it is empty. Not a single program icon transferred over. In fact, it won't let me drag and drop icons in that area, although that does work for the main start menu area.I end up using Windows explorer and digging down to find the program I need to run. I am hoping the full install of W7 in October will address this. Biggest problem I had was that once the install was complete, I was missing a big crucial aspect to the start menu.
