Justin, why not download and install the Origami Experience now that you have Vista loaded? It might have some skins that you like and it’s made for a touchscreen. http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2007/01/get_the_origami.html

Thanks to all who posted here – painless – yes TOTALLY painless – upgrade of Q1 to Vista and it runs great. My only regret? The loss of the brilliant black media player skin. It’s only available for download with the Tablet XP Experience pack from microsoft and that won’t run under vista. Any ideas where I can get a similar skin – ie. one ideal for finger driven navigation? Thanks again!

Just an update: rotation works after simply installing the latest Intel graphics driver (6.14.10.4764).

My HTC 818 Pro Pocket PC Phone Edition device running Windows Mobile 5 is not supported by Windows Live OneCare. I uninstalled OneCare and bingo: I was able to connect.

Flash is doin good. I think he likes Vista. Screen rotation (which I never use) isn’t working and I didn’t put much effort into the WM5 sync problem yet. But everything else works fine and it still runs fast.

Hey Ken, how’s Flash doing, or did you rename him? I too am having far too many problems syncing my WM5 phone. I haven’t found a reliable process to follow yet.

Vista is working good on my Q1 SSD thanks to your tip about Tweak Key. That was the last major hurdle. But I still have a lesser problem: I can’t sync my WM 5 Pocket PC Phone Edition Device. Can’t make a connection through Mobile Device Center. Any suggestions?

By the way, I found that you can map the U buttons to multiple keystrokes in Tweak Key by pulling up the TIP and entering them there instead of on the Tweak Key keyboard.

I just finshed a clean install on my Q1P as well.

Did you use the latest sound drivers from the Samsung site?

Uninstall the vista generic drivers and try those drivers from the site.

I can’t recall if there was anthing odd to it, but I may have pointed the vista drivers to the saved ones fom the site using the update driver function or I just mmay have ran the installer.

As for the NICs, it may just be Vista chuggin along its stuff in the background (indexing for one or maybe WMP pulling together its library, or something else).

Wait till you get everything working and then see if the network stuff improves or not.

I know there is an updated Wireless driver that Vista pulled after I ran the Windows Update. Maybe you need to get all the updates installed too.

Either way, just wait a while (leave it running) and check back.

Also, check your Network activity to see if it is staling or simply it is busy gathering other stuff over the Net or your home network.

OK… well after hours and hours and hours.. of work with vista ultimate signature edition.. i have updated my q1

everything seems to be working except for a few minor issues..

sound will not work as of yet.. any help would be greatful

network (lan) and wireless seem to be slow and sluggish.. any help would be appreciated..

I just posted about my recent success on getting the resolution switching working on my Q1P running Vista Ultimate (retail upgrade version) but I wanted to add that I also just had success getting the U1 – U4 shortcut keys working as well.
I, like everyone else, was unable to get the Magic Keyboard app to allow all 4 buttons to work, but I could get the U1 to do what I want in a new group.
So, knowing I could add a new group, I made a new group and made sure no keys were assigned and set that as my default.
I then installed a freeware program called KeyTweak from http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick that I stumbled across on another UMPC related site (sorry, forgot where now).
I installed that and did its ‘Half Teach Mode’ and successfully edited all four buttons.
The only downside – no multiple keys (i.e. ALT + TAB) or sending a mouse click.
Both issues I worked around.
For Alt Tab, I made a shortcut key for the new Vista ALT+TAB for us touchscreeners and set it to F10 (low usage key).
For a right click, there is an option for ‘Context Menu’. Using that, you have to select the file/item first, but once selected, it is a quick right click.
For now, that is what I wanted and it is working very, very well for me.

Until DialKeys gets a Vista upgrade, I created a DialKeys like layout for Inscribe (half qwerty on left and other half on the right with blank columns in the middle). Not as cool as DK, but it works better than the built in OSK or Tablet input KB for me for long text inputs.

So, so far, not too shabby.
I thikn for now I am done with XP on the Q1P and fully running with Vista, minus Aero and the real DialKeys.

Anyway, thought you all might wanna know.

Frank, I did have the resolution switcher working with the beta build (RC2), but I’ve blown that image away at this point.

Question, the switch resolution program still does not work?

Alas, I no longer own any CF media! I did just order a 1GB SD card that has an unfolding USB interface, so I’ll give that a go.

Isnt the CF port on the Q1 very slow? I would assume that readyboost wouldnt be too useful for that then. But I think it should support a memorystick in one of the USB ports though. Get a fast one while you are at it.

Here’s a question… does the CF flash slot work for you under Vista? For me, it just can’t find the drivers… I was interested to see if a 1GB CF would work for Vista readyboost!
