Pano, your post doesn’t say what the issue is. However, if you’re the same Pano who posted on UMPC Portal, you stated in pertinent part: “I turned it on and it started a series of automatic updates. After ages it restarted itself and the touchscreen does not work.” Your post doesn’t say what your OS is. If it’s XP, then make sure you didn’t activate the hold button. I made that mistake once If your OS is Vista or Windows 7, then please advise, as my advice will be different.

Yes, I too am used to instructions such as “please to be turn page.”

The Win7 install certainly is not for the faint-hearted. I hope to post an article this weekend on it. Still working out some kinks, but basically all the important stuff I’ve checked so far (WiFi, BT, 3G, etc.) appears to be working.

meh, I think in the original XP Home install my X70 has a Touchside folder under Program Files. But the update program indicated Touchside was missing and installed it.

I ran the Touchside calibration. It was weird. I had to touch multiple times, for a seemingly long time, before the calibration point moved to the next spot. But the calibration made a big difference, particular at the upper corners.

Mine didn’t come with Touchside installed… first time I ran the viliv update software it offered it, showing no previous version.

!!!Yeah. Ain’t that the bummer!!!
I never had all the trouble you guys seems to be having with the Win 7 install. I upped my EEE (from Linux), an HP TX2000, HP MN8200N desktop, Fujitso 1610 – and even my Tablet Kiosk went reasonably well.
But this X70 seems like a world of pain at this point.
One comment I will make about the X70 and XP: I am truly amazed at the standby (‘sleep’ they call it) and wake up times. None of my other XP machines were anywhere near so quick. Is it just me or have others noted this?
PS: Just what does Viliv mean by some of those things your noted???
Remember the some time back when we used to get stuff imported from the far east. The instructions were always good for a laugh.
