well i'm going through yet another reinstall but doing things bit by bit this time (install few apps, reboot, test) and then making a ghost image of it so i can fall back on a backup.
i wanna find out why this i, because if breaks the device manager link the system properties, then who knows what else it has broken that i cant see but might be vital.
i think whatever it is that is breaking the dev manager link is also breaking the auto driver install.
i also notice that hibernate goes missing in the shutdown menu but on a fresh install, its there but if i set the shutdown button to hibernate, it still "works" --i assume it works, i dont get any sort of hibernate screen just a black screen instead..
