You mentioned NetBook, not Notebook. Which version of Windows 7 are you running? A number of NetBooks run Win7 Basic, which might be the root of your problem. I doubt many vendors test with Basic. Just a thought.



You are probably correct about that John. It is basic, but so far it seems to handle stuff okay except for the tascam.. If I were to start using it for gigs, I might have to go to Home Premium. However, my desktop is Home premium 64 bit and it's the one that caused me the major problem which I didn't mention. I was getting a BSOD (blue screen of death) about every 8-10 minutes. I think it was due to driver that was downloaded to try and connect with the tascam player, but it didn't come from tascam-probably MS. I was just going to do a clean install, but my wife thought I should call Nerds On Call. Being lazy and not wanting to disconnect everything I had a guy come to my home and he was here for an hour and a half. He told me that I had to take it in so they could do a complete diagnostic on the memory and drive and find the bad driver. 6 days later I get a call saying they couldn't find it and they needed to do a clean install and that would be $179. I just went and got it and did the clean install myself. No more BSOD. I haven't tried hooking up the tascam to it again though and that's why I'm looking for alternatives. Even if I get the netbook going with the right software, I'll still have to get the files on it from the desktop. I've never transferred files over our network so I'll have to learn how to do that, too. This has gotten out of hand. Maybe I should retire.
