I just added a link for the touchpad drivers to the original post.

Also to get the aspect ratio settings to 'stick' I had to drop the resolution down a notch then it let me change it.

Great stuff.

I spoke too soon. This was a clean install of Win 7 and now I'm getting "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" occasionally (when coming out of a screen saver or standby or something like that).

I saw a reference here but not any resolution. Anyone else getting this?

Added a link to a thread to help locate WWAN drivers for those that need them.

Disagree with you on the capslock utility.

It does what it's suppose to do... show the status of the caps lock key (whether it is on or off) with a 3 second popup in the lower right corner of the screen).

FYI Windows 7 includes the Intel GMA driver as an update.

At the time I made this thread, the driver on windows update was an older one, the latest from intel is version 15.​12.​75.​4.​1930

Also there is a newer version of the chipset drivers out, but they don't install anything for the 945/mini, so I wont bother adding them to the first post.

I understand. Wasn't a complaint. I just used your thread over New Year weekend for a new image.
