It's not your computer, don't hate 'it'. It's Windows. Windows itself is just a document management system. Originally it was a GUI over an OS, specifically DOS. Windows 7 is the most stable one currently. Linux would probably serve you better. Currently I use mobile workstations w/ Alps pads, and they SUCK compared to the Synaptics, but it's just windows mis-appropriation of available resources and 'best effort' standard. Everything I do is simplistic at best, and mission critical. Don't trust all your valuable data to a 'best effort' piece of software written for document management. Windows has over a trillion man/hours of coding, but it's just a lot of band-aids, and circular logic. It's not elegant, it's a disgusting mess. I'm surprised it functions at all. Format your system and try to install driver packs in order of importance. Use autoruns, task manager pro and process monitor to control what runs, when and how. Take control of your own resources and delegate. SysInternals provides the utilities. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals
