Hi soccerpepe, Glad to know that the display on your Windows XP computer is fixed. The issue with Windows 7 has to be started with a new thread. I would suggest you to provide the following details on your new thread. · Is your Windows 7 activated?· When your laptop crashes, do you receive any blue screen stop errors? Please provide yoursystem information of your Windows 7 machine on your new thread. Moreover, you may not be able to downgrade to Windows XP on your Windows 7 machine since some of the hardware are only designed for Windows 7 and does not work for Windows XP. Also, you’ve to use one copy of windows on only one machine. Otherwise, you won’t be able to activate Windows XP. Hope this information is helpful and let me know if you need any further assistance.Mouneshwar R – Microsoft Support-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think
