That second picture is what I would see as I attempted to awake the device from sleep mode. It would stay that way for about 10 minutes, then reboot. I've removed the card I was using and the machine feels zippier. And no BlkSOD so far. But Windows Update is pestering me to reboot, pray for me. Installed the fo'free SpeedFan program as it includes a HDD monitoring program. Says the drive is 99%, all functions normal. LOL on the Ikea chair. I'm sitting the same one, except in Brown leather. I think using the extended battery may actually be better for holding the SC3 in tablet mode. Thanks for the tip on Ready Boost.

Given the form-factor and the acceptable performance for my requirements, I am still of the opinion that this is the least bad option for me. BUT I am glad that I am not doing the Beta test for this device as you and Jenn apparently are :-( I'm going to wait six to eight weeks and hope Kohji gets its act together re drivers, etc. Thanks for the all interesting stuff on the SC3 so far - and I look forward to more!

Any Vista disc should work. Just boot from an external drive, choose the "repair my system" option, and restart. It worked for me using a Vista Ultimate disc (and my SC3 has Home Premium). Good luck!

Go into BIOS and disable "Long Run Mobile Mode" set it to Off. I have the PDF and it shows it off from pdf. I can email you the pdf file. Chippy hopeully this isn’t a problem with booting.
