These CQ pictures are exactly same to my CQ45-129TX!

Yes almost same. Minus Fingerprint sensor.

Am i correct?

I dont find the eSATA function useful at all. Since it's combo with USB port. Most of time i plug at my external HDD only.

Yea. it's a combo port. eSATA + USB. hehehe.

I dont get you, what is the shortcut button you mean?

If that the touch buttons above F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 keyboard buttons there?

Is your ahem Vista version problem. Try get another copy and install. I am sure the problem solved.

Card Reader, Bluetooth, 56k Modem port... These could be the missing drivers. My suggestion is try install using Vista driver from my CQ45-129TX model. Here's the link:

Reason is most the parts used in AMD and Intel laptop are common. I believe Card reader, Bluetooth, 56k Modem port are same too. And Vista drivers work on XP. I have seen that before. You may give it a shot. Let us know the result. If it doesn't work, remove it lor... Make Sure feedback in this thread so other AMD users get noticed.


In addition, I also suggest you try install:
- AMD USB Filter Driver,

These are found from CQ40-115AU Vista driver page. It could solve some problems too. Perhaps?

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:

Let us know if it works!

Wah so fast figured out all the things.

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

Vista SP1 all can detect 4gb RAM liao.. no worry.

If 1 + 2 = 3gb RAM it will not run Dual Channel Mode only. But then according to Tomshardware.com research, Dual Channel mode only provide very very very very very very little performance improvement only.

Infra Red lor... hardly use it nowadays.

Wah impressive driver collection. lolz

I was using my Vista Ultimate with unlimited updates running on 2gb RAM, If you dont run RAM intensive programs like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc. It should work fine and fast. I dont see any lagging at all. However I am now with 4gb RAM because I need to rip some videos.

Difference between Home Premium and Ultimate it has slightly more features like Dreamscene, etc. I dont think it would consume a significant system resources (maybe only extra 5%?). Microsoft segregates to different vista versions so they could fetch extra price premium.

I believe the problem is caused by ur unstable Vista version? Try to get a new copy and do a clean install. If you dont know where to get, PM me.

default webcam doesnt need any driver. But if you wanna some funny video effect u can install the Cyberlink webcam progra. Refer to 1st post of this thread.

Mine is CQ45-129TX. No problem on the keyboard.
If your keyboard bends down at X area, probably it's mechanical defect, call HP to ask if it's covered by warranty?

Taking out HDD might void the warranty le.. will it? hehe

Wah 1 2 install Linux on CQ lappy ar?

Look like Mission Impossible 4.
