Keep in mind windows 7 doesn't support every peripheral right now but does do many. Of course in time it will work for more but not likely for very old peripherals. Might want to check the device manager but I wouldn't solely rely on what you see there.

I had d/l the software & driver from the website and still had problems. I removed the software via the control panel and then removed the driver as well. After that Win 7 installed it's own driver and that ended the problem. It might not work for you but after you remove the software via the control panel you still have to remove the device driver as well through device manager.
