First time heard such problem on XP. To me i dunno how to solve it as the new CQ Series are optimized for Vista. Even couldn't find official support drivers on HP website too.

My suggestion is to call HP Customer Service Toll Free Number 1800 888 588. Flame them kao kao. Ask for solution.

Then post the solution here

OHHH.... Have you installed the HP QUICK LAUNCH PROGRAM?

Here's the newer version:

Gave up installing windows xp because searching for the missing 6 driver is too time consuming.Already installed vista now.Running perfectly.

lol Vista isn't that bad right? IMO vista performance is faster than xp, although the startup background services twice the XP, battery management wise also better than XP

Agreed.I thought Vista will lag alot but turn out to be excellent.I recommend CQ users to use Vista.

i am a programmer. a lot programming related s/w or open source is not compatible in vista. vista is suck n worst series in windows after windows ME.
therefore i prefer use windows XP.

Vista's program compability still isn't good as xp.I had the same problem last time with some of the engineering program(sloidworks,autocad etc).Some managed to run the programs with compability mode.

ya,vista require many new coding to work with old programing,it will be very headache if using vista and continue old programing,have to modify everything and nid to learn from beginning but vista is not worst la if u are not related to programing,it still a very good window version if we dun wan talk about programing

Anyone know how to off the screen without closing the lid eh ?

Just change the setting in advanced power setting(Vista) or power option properties (XP).

Wah so fast figured out all the things.

Anymore special drivers/softwares you can contribute for Vista users? hehe.

Okie too bad it couldn't just like xp can turn off the display directly but dont have to wait 1 minute or is there a way for it also hm ?

I don't think it's possible in Vista.But for me automatic lcd off after 1 minutes is already good.

heha... juz bought myself CQ40-103TU .... kinda freakin out reading how hard to setup winXP on it.... haih~ not really fond of Vista s well... cross fingers to install fedora on it later on s well... for the time being, nobody has install winXP on their CQ 100% successful aite? hurmmmm

Some of the forumer managed to install xp.Read all the post all find them.
By the way I suggest cloud9_lee to list all the cq notebook user and the os they use.

I just found a website got some vista2xp info. hope it help.

but is in chinese hehe

hi, everyone, back to my previous question.
previous question:
anyone using Q40-115AU and installed windows XP? how u resolve the function key brightness adjustment issue(cant work in XP, no effect after click on the Fn+brightness up and brightness down key). and the buildin microphone is not working in windows XP also? any solution? thank you very much.

my question now:
if the function key brightness adjustment issue cannot resolve, any alternative way to adjust the screen brightness? eg. any software or windows setting that can adjust the brightness??

thank you very much if anyone here can provide me the solution.
