    Hello,

    Out of no where, I got the blue screen of death. Could not do anything but start in safe mode, and even then I could not restore to a previous setting. Well, I restored with the disc from AW.

    So far, so good, but I have these issues and could use your help. Have no idea what happened.

    m9750
    2 gforce 7950's

    -Touch keys do not work (I searched, but honestly can not find anything to help)

    - Bison cam no worky (found driver stuff, but weird instructions)

    -In device manager, I have 2 "other" devices that have the yellow exclamation points. What are they for and what do I do?

    PCI bus 10, device 7, function 3
    PCI bus 10, device 7, function 2

    Thanks guys - Brian

    Drivers for the touch buttons are on the Alienware web page, download and install them and they should work fine.
    As for the camera check out the M9750 drivers sticky for the latest driver which also should work.
    The other devices will probably be your camera and touch buttons, expect them to disappear when you install the drivers.

    That did it. Device Manager still shows notices, but everything works. Thank You!

    Turns out the other 2 devices were media reader and touchpad (I think)
