Windows 7 Blues

** This was in my draft folder for ages

Bought a new Windows 7 PC for a customer, to replace an existing defunct Windows XP model - I needed to re-install everything, including the software and hardware, and to transfer the existing data.  

Problem, UPDD Touchscreen Windows Driver - Does not work on Windows 7  - And the customer does not want to spend another £400+ on another Touchscreen.

And how do you know when a driver is not compatible with Windows 7? Easy, you wait until it Stops the Keyboard and Mouse from working - So a 5 Minute Job, Turns into a nightmare, that ends up in booting into Linux, backing up the data using "Parted Magic", reinstalling Windows XP on the PC, and then reinstalling the UPDD drivers and a scramble to search for other drivers, for new fangled devices that have no actual Windows XP drivers...
