Your guess is correct, I believe. I remember it being particularly prevalent around the time the systems became most popular. Every once in a while, a fax modem would be thrown in as one of the peripherals ooh ahh!

Now THAT was a deal! The new version WinBubble takes that into the new level. Click the Windows 7 Tab , Logon Tools option and hit the snapshot tool. The newest version also works well in Windows Vista. NOTE: The main annoyance is, you need to re-open again the program after restarting your computer and do the procedure again to be able to activate the feature.

I'm having the same problem with my week-old Surface Pro 7. It looks like this has been an issue for years, by the look of internet searches, how can this still be a problem?

Is there any word if it will ever be fixed? Trying to decide if I should return it and go back to the "other" platform I had been using for years before the return window closes. In reply to RobA's post on April 5, Same issue.

Tried a full reset and it only worked for a couple of days. In reply to RaslDasl's post on April 21, It looks OK for a while. Could be the solution. In reply to ChayasornSuansomjit's post on April 22, Firmware update only works for a little while.

Reboot will fix it for same amount of time.
