    Is anyone still running a C90S ?

    - I've setup a dual boot (Vista x64 and Win 7 32) on my C90S. I have everything running OK .... except -

    WEBCAM (genesys logic 2.0)
    Fingerprint Reader and
    Bluetooth

    Can anyone help with the location of drivers that work under Win 7 for these devices. I've tried several Vista and XP drivers, but they don't work under 7.

    Many thanks in advance

    are you sure the vista drivers won't work under win7? you need to run as administrator in most cases to get them to work.

    I would love to help but my C90P is at the moment inactive due to SSD RMA lol. I would have thought vista 32 bit drivers would work for the finger print reader and bluetooth (don't use your vista 64 bit ones) As for the webcam that could be a permanent problem.

    I hope to upgrade to win 7 64 bit shortly and as the C90P shares 95% of the components with the C90S we should be able to iron out any driver problems.

    Thanks. Running win 7 32 bit for now. Just got 2 gb memory so I didn't think it would help me much...

    Running the Vista 32 drivers does work, but I had to set the program compatability to Vista and run them as administrator. I had everything working fine for one day ... then once I had shutdown > booted vista > shutdown > booted win 7, The fingerprint reader has stopped working .. not the end of the world but puzzling as nothing had changed on the win7 partition
    Also the webcam driver is unstable .. it works fine for a day or so then goes very dark. An uninstall/ re-install of the drivers and its back to normal. I'll try the driver above.
