    Pretty much any driver that worked with Vista will work with Windows 7, so you could probably just use the Vista driver if you can find that, or a recovery disc that has your drivers from Vista on it?

    I'm fairly certain the 171XL is the same audio outs as the 6860fx, give the driver I modded for Win7 a shot.
