It doesn't matter whose launcher you would use for portable apss, Liberkey or PortableApps, they will install stuff by default you may not want.-techidave (September 08, 2010, 05:47 AM)

According to the *listing* it comes with a COA for XP Professional. Again, with those warehouse specials, in a lot of cases they don't have the original license... so they also get a stack of XP COAs to include... that might not be the case with this one, but... (given, it does say that it still has it's COA sticker attached, but I wouldn't assume...)-wraith808 (September 05, 2010, 03:59 PM)
Don't be too sure of that - for regular keys, x86 and x64 are interchangeable. My laptop runs win7-x64 with a win7-x86 key-f0dder (September 04, 2010, 07:19 AM)
But does a normal XP license (which seems to be what is included) work for tablet edition? From other tablet sites I've frequented, I seem to remember that it doesn't... and if you install standard XP, you don't get tablet functionality.-wraith808 (September 04, 2010, 09:52 AM)
I wouldn't do that one... no OS/Restore CD means a lot of trouble to even get started...-wraith808 (September 03, 2010, 02:38 PM)
If you can find a DVD with Win7 Pro x64, then I'd say just boot from it, do a complete install to the HDD, (wiping what was there, ie. Dell's auto-install), and enter your CD key off the sticker.Won't necessarily work - at least not if you haven't gotten a clean OEM DVD. I tried doing this with XP, and found out that OEM keys, at least then, were tied to OEM install discs (apart from just BIOS strings, meaning they won't work for non-vendor machines either).-4wd (September 02, 2010, 11:47 PM)-f0dder (September 03, 2010, 03:06 PM)
I read somewhere, (but can't remember - hey, it was more than 60 minutes ago!), that Microsoft no longer used the oembios stuff they used in XP for Win7.<Yoda> Cheaply forth you must go with spares!-Stoic Joker (September 02, 2010, 07:15 AM)
), a favour, put it on ebay and see if you can salvage some money from it.4wd; that sounds like exactly what has happened. the usb ports had been fine when using a memory stick. and the pop sound happened exactly on making contact between the external dvd drive cable and tablet's usb socket.
the external drive is quite "basic". it's actually just an empty case that you put your own drive inside. the power unit is inside the case - not that there is much to see. i'll upload a photo if you like.-nudone (September 02, 2010, 02:07 AM)
as for "next time". i think i may just avoid using external DVD drives completely. it has always been the sort of equipment i'd use on other people's computers - if they don't have a DVD drive. so, in one way, i've been very lucky that i've only broken my own machine - i could easily have blown up someone else's computer by the sounds of it. from now on, i'll just use a memory stick.
i'll have a look inside the tc1100 and take some photos. it's not like i can hurt anything now...
Ah... I misunderstood. I thought that perhaps the combination of connecting the drive and the machine caused the difficulty. I just can't see connecting a drive causing such a catastrophic failure on its own, so assumed that it was the machine.-wraith808 (September 01, 2010, 04:55 PM)
He specifically showed me how on a mac, when it detects a new connection, all that happens is a box pops up asking for the wifi password, and BAM you are connected.-superboyac (August 31, 2010, 10:34 PM)
), because you need a Facebook account to log into your WeFi account from the application - very retarded AFAIAC.But, is there a software that actually takes over the wifi configuration that Windows/Intel uses? These managers manage the connection, but they still are using the Windows/Intel windows and dialogs for the actual configuration. I want a whole new interface. Something easier, something more intuitive, something more simple and elegant.-superboyac (August 31, 2010, 10:28 AM)
), which is basically just the gumbo used on normal tape but the paper backing can be peeled away leaving you with a layer of sticky gumbo - if you get my meaning. But they are 2+ decades old, so no idea where they came from - surprised they still work actually.
