Windows 7 issues

Win7

I've been using Windows 7 now for about a month.  Overall I really like it.  I have ran into a few issues though.

  1. Skype audio recording really seems to be flaky.  I never know if my voice is going to go through or not.  I used to use a headset that simply plugged into the line in.  This wasn't recognized at all. I then tried a usb headset which has got me to where I am now.  It worked about 50% of the time.  I reinstalled Skype under Vista compatibility and it seems to be working better, but does still go out.
  2. Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet, the driver constantly goes bad.  I end up re-installing the driver daily.
  3. I am having issues with Firefox opening a new window when one is already opened.  FF is my default browser so if I have an instance of it open and click on a link in a different application like outlook I end up getting an error.
All 3 of these are really major issues that I have been dealing with.

I hope some fixes come soon.
