    I just got my R1 today (SU7300 @ 1.7ghz, 4gb ram, 160gb HDD, BT) and I'm completely loving it.. just played crysis and high-med settings and was blown away by how well it ran. :) One problem though is that I've been trying to use Project64 and Fusion (n64 and sega genesis emulators) and they run just fine, until I try to go fullscreen and they completely freeze up and I have to hit ctrl-alt-delete. Anyone have any idea why they're doing this? I suspect it might have something to do with the m11x's aspect ratio, or windows 7... :confused:

    Update:

    I just figured out the fix to this problem - you right click on the program (in this case Project64 or Fusion) and go to the compatibility tab, then tell it to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP from the drop-down list. I'll leave this thread up in case if anyone else has the same problem.
