    Be sure and get the Ethernet drivers as a minimum so you can update online.

    To get your system up and running: Nothing. Windows 7 has it all packed already.

    You'll need to install the drivers for your logitech Gamepanel again - run it in Vista compatibility mode or it won't install. It also won't install in Vista SP2 compatibility - needs to be Vista/SP1.

    Other than that, there's really not much. Hit by BatBoys blog for all the latest drivers in one convenient place: http://xpsm1730.blogspot.com

    The gaming panel installed fine for me without using compatability settings, think it was only the bluetooth drivers that i had issue with.
