That would be a driver issue.

Any idea what it would be called or how to fix it?

Not sure.  I do not have enough experience with the Windows 7 drivers yet and absolutely do not have any experience with a touch pad.  Does the manufacturer for the touch pad have later drivers available?

Every laptop I have seen switched to Windows 7 ran much better.  Is this an older laptop?  1.6G of page file space being used seems high to me as well.

I do not know which drivers are running that mute light to know if there are newer drivers. The wifi light on the same pad alternates between orange and blue whether turned on or off, and that light works just fine. It's only the mute light that isn't working.

Its definitely not old, I bought it brand new in August, and to my knowledge it was still a rather new product.

You got WAY too much junk installed on that thing and its sucking up resources in all the processes running.

I would be very interested how you come to that conclusion with the info posted. If I knew how you can tell that, it may help me with the problem I am having running the game. If you would be so kind?

Serenity,

Go to the sysinternals site (this now a Microsoft site) i.e. www.sysinternals.com
download the sysinternals suite and run the processexplorer application, it will give you full details of each process that is running down to the thread level...
this can help pinpoint the problem.

Cannot find the download section of that link.

In addition, the scroll section of my touch-pad is nonfunctional.
