(moderation:
I'm fascinated with science and astrophysics, as well as nuclear and particle physics. I know a whole lot and i'm very intelligent.

I don't use Windows at all so I don't know any details about Windows peculiarities/driver issues for your particular hardware.

Good luck with getting it sorted!
Cheers,
