Re: My attempt at getting MicroXP on my WebDT 366 & Questions

5) My touchscreen seems to have a dead spot, lower left corner thinks I'm tapping above the corner when I'm not. It's irritating me, and I was forced to move the taskbar to the top. *grumble* Mine does also - I used the advanced 25 point calibration & it still has a dead spot just right of the ...

Re: Windows XP in WEBDT366 all Works!!! Image Ready.

How did you get bluetooth to work?  That is the only thing I haven't been able to make work, when I try to turn it on i get a message that the license check failed.

Re: Framework 2.0 in XP

does the software have to install to the boot drive?

I got a 8GB Compact flash card, I installed a few things I wanted there.  Unfortunately, a couple things I would like to have will only install to the boot drive, and since there is less than 100meg left there I am out of luck.

Re: Penmount Driver Update / uninstall issue

like I said before, I was trying to find some way to adjust the screen brightness.  In CE this was done in the display properties tab in the control panel.  There is no such option under XP. I assumed that since the screen is made by penmount, this function should be installed with the driver.  Evid...

Re: Penmount Driver Update / uninstall issue

There is a file in the registry that I had to remove.

Unfortunately, the new driver doesn't work.  It says there is no penmount device installed.

I still can't figure out any way to adjust the screen brightness

Penmount Driver Update / uninstall issue

I cannot seem to control my screen brightness, so i decided to try a newer driver from penmount.  When I tried to install it it immediately said I must uninstall the older software & drivers, so I ran the penmount uninstall program already on my machine.  When it wanted to reboot, the machine lo...

Re: MicroXP / XP drivers

I have installed MicroXP on my unit using the above drivers, & it mostly works, with a couple issues. 1) The screen is at most 1/2 the brightness I was getting under CE, and when I run the brightness control the little bar graph comes up on the screen briefly then disappears.  What am I doing wr...

Re: PDF/older os

It's not a legal copy of xp. Xp won't support it. I don't want the offshore support, I haven't used it in years as I always knew more than "Joe" from Mumbai if he was less than third tier support, But I figure MicroXP is legal if you have an unused license to hang it on, I know several Fo...

Re: PDF/older os

one other thing I have discovered - with all the drivers installed the HD is mostly full, and the disk cleanup & defrag utilities are not included. I was able to plug a CF card into another PC & install some programs on it that I need, so you can sort of get around that issue, as there is no...

Re: explitive deleted CE5.0 install ANYthing?

I didn't try google docs, but using IE6 google's home page looked funky.  One of the first things I tried when I got mine was going to the microsoft update site & all I got was a message that said "this website will not work with a mac" The version of MicroXP I have installed came with...

Re: PDF/older os

OK, I found some drivers that more or less work. There is one more thing I want to do, I want to use the 4 way rocker button to move the cursor instead of the mouse. (not the arrow up/ down/ sideways it already has as that only works between icons in whatever window you are in, I want to use it just...

Re: PDF/older os

I am getting sick of this.  I loaded XPe, it isn't any better than linux (or 98, or NT) as far as what applications , drivers, etc it will run. So far nothing I have tried runs as good as the CE5 it came with. All I want is a PDF viewer that will run on this thing, how hard is that?? I am about to p...

Re: PDF/older os

well, i have tried XPe on it, tried using the drivers posted here & others i found, the touchscreen doesnt work properly, the cisco card doesnt work (I could live with that) but most importantly the driver for the buttons doesnt do anything
