I wonder that there is no further information to this issue. Not from Hp and not from anyone else. But i remember that there was always an update before the TC4400 wont startup anymore.Lennart Ihttp://www.lenny2k.vox.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694717295014173204.post-10024926154187770532011-10-12T06:23:33.000-07:002011-10-12T06:23:33.000-07:00Thought I should post an update.

The Quick Launch tools still are a bit buggy, but otherwise it's been solid.Tom Thrushhttp://www.tthrush.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694717295014173204.post-30700334578259597942011-12-04T02:57:51.000-08:002011-12-04T02:57:51.000-08:00I just installed Windows 7 Pro on my tc4400.

HP said they don't support Wndows 7 for this device and I almost gave up and went back to Vista, but I seem to have "automatically" found the drivers I needed and now I'm just having trouble with the Wireless. It wants me to turn it on with a Function button or switch on the side of the computer. The Switch isn't working. Function buttons don't seem to be set up for this either. Any ideas for me?Michael Brownenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694717295014173204.post-92225753175949132462011-12-04T03:32:01.000-08:002011-12-04T03:32:01.000-08:00Hi Michael, You can go here to get the Quick Launc...Hi Michael,<br> You can go here to get the Quick Launch software: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp46001-46500/sp46167.exe, not sure if that'll help, but I installed that right after Windows 7 and updating the drivers.<br> You might take a look at the BIOS and see if there's an update. Most drivers and software that work for Vista, will work with Win7.<br> I'll see if there's anything else I can dig up.Tom Thrushhttp://www.tthrush.comnoreply@blogger.com
