Here what I found on th XP LCD brightness control:

"... the brightness issue is still being tested and searched for use with windows xp. Hp currently said that this brightness control for this laptop series is still under developement and unreleased for windows xp use. but if you badly need something to dim the screen brightness try DimScreen here:"

http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skro....html#DimScreen

I try it and you can control the lcd brightness but not with the Fn key. At least I can control the brightness.

You sounded like a newbie to me. It is clearly stated on the specs that the notebook comes with Free DOS. Installing Windows is not hard. In fact many guides are available on the net. Only Windows Vista is officially supported by these models and I wonder why you guys take all the trouble to install XP. I dont think XP is much faster than Vista. With 2GB of RAM, this laptop should be able to handle Vista. Installing Vista is a piece of cake and all drivers are available on HP support site.

Regarding made in china stuff, can you tell me what products now days are not made in China? Even high end laptops are made in the mainland. What a childish statement made by you. No matter where the product is made in, the quality control is the one matters. smile.gif

Good thing is hard to get. Like ppl said, no pain, no gain.... I love this lappy. The graphic is wonderful. Even bet the hell out of my cousin acer 4530 (playing C&C3 and COD4 lan).

heheehe....of cause, not on ultra high and no AA! Come on now it just 3450 and 9100M only!

Acer 4530 and 125ax set at 800x600

CNC3 - high setting = 125ax sure look and play smooth. 4530 play smooth, but look kind of boxy.
RA3 - medium setting = 125ax look a little boxy but play smoothly. 4530 look boxy and play with lag.

if I got time and meet with my cousin again. I will get some pictures.

2. It's damn bad (for how didn't buy it)

wow.. seems that you have a high tolerance for heat. i find the 133AX noisy and hot even under normal use. the fan just won't stop spinning! sweat.gif

now I realize something. At the time I was using 125ax with XP, the fan somehow can change it speed in 3 step, low, medium and high (when it get really hot).

But now I'm using Vista 64bit, the fan just spin in medium and high speed. Maybe this is cause by the vista aero+gadget things. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Need help:

1) I lost my bluetooth after upgrade to vista. I try to follow all method stated earlier in the thread, but still failed. Any volunteer?

2) I install catalyst suite with the vista, but there no where to be found, not ever in the task bar or program tab. Where has is hiding?
