    My only experience with this type of Net book is the OLPC XO but I would guess this kind of system may not have a fan (does the CPU run that hot?)

    Yes, it does have a fan and it should always be on. If it's not on, it may do the shutdown thing as being experienced now.

    I converted my ACER Aspire one originally fitted with Linux to Windows XP and are now having problems listed as follows:

    1. Very slow and unstable boot-up

    2. The video out does not work anymore

    I have updated the bios and drivers of all the device already but same problem exist. Has someone experience the same problems and how was it solved.

    Thanks

    1. What hard drive setup? SSD or mechanical HDD?
    2. What drivers are you using? where did you get them from?

    No problems here with either bootup or video out

    SSD is not the way to go for XP due to the amount of disk activity that XP does in the background. Enabling EWF will help, as will removing indexing/paging from occuring. The HDD version is the best way to go for XP.

    What is EWF? How do I activate it and deactivate indexing/paging? Thanks.
