    I changed my OS to Win 7 Pro and lost some functionality that I cant recover.

    Sound:
    The realtek driver will not retain upon shutdown. Ive tried to uninstall and reinstall different versions of the driver with no luck. There is a red "X" over the speaker in the systray. I have to right click and let it troubleshoot and apply the fix. Its quick but very annoying.

    Power Strip "Touch Sensitive" buttons
    Apparently I lost functionality for the two furthest most right "touch" buttons in the strip that contains the power buttons. Its directly to the right of the "WAVES Max/Audio3" emblem. The Gear button still brings up mobility center. I say "still" because I never noticed those were buttons till after I changed my configuration.
