    Hi,

    I've been running Vista 32bit on my VX2S and after two reinstalls of Vista, due to incompatible Vista updates I decided to format the hard drive and install XP SP3. I couldn't get any assistance from ASUS for installing XP even after they admitted there was a problem with Vista updates working with the VX2S laptop. Nice customer support.

    Anyway, due to the gracious people of this forum I was able to install XP. Everything is running great except for a few problems. After installing all the XP drivers I get a resource conflict with my COM1 port. Not enough resources. I think this is why I can't get my Bluetooth mouse to work. The Bluetooth software (XP version) sees the mouse and assigns a HID to it but the mouse still doesn't work. Batteries are good btw.

    Has anyone seen this problem after installing XP? Thanks.
