    So yea, i just got my FL90 in, and i'll do a lot of answering and reviewing, but one thing: the driver cd included was for vista. I'm an XP lover so now i gotta get drivers on my cellar phone, and get them to my laptop like that since not even my ADSL is working. One problem. Where can i find them :D (i know there was this sort of intel thing page, cant find it anymore but those were beta's anyway ?)

    the keyboard does have quite some flex, but that's np for me since i'll be working most of the time with an external keyboard + mouse :)
    still got quite some problems tho:
    - when i'm playing a game (eg: warsow), the sound is one second behind the real time action (shoot a gun, hear it shooting one sec afterwards)
    - the external monitor can't be set to primary (the selection is gray), but it is possible to have it primary with the notebookscreen off (ok for me)
    - the external monitor is showing off visible horizontal lines, and for some reason i can't set the refreshrate higher. (although it is exactly the same when it's not, this also happens when it is the primary screen and laptopscreen off/on)

    who can help me ? :)

    the problem with the flickering is called Horizontal delay bar, can't find any solution on the inet tho :x
    Also, i didn't have that problem when the same tft was connected to my PC

    hmm, i'd like to try a different driver but i've tried a lot and only one worked (it's the beta driver that's working for me :/)

    it's a special one i think, ordered at tones.be, belgium, had to wait 2 weeks for it :)
    FL90:
    1280*800
    8600M GT 256 (although my windows hardware properties say 512, must be the TC or so)
    btw, just did a stress test in css auto settings (everything high etc), 180 fps avg :) :)

    if now i can fix the problem with the flickering horizontal lines, erverything is all good and i can do some testing

    anyone got his FL90's webcam working ? or BT ? or wireless ?
    NOTHING of those working in here :( probably cause i got XP32bit and can't find the proper drivers,
    also the horizontal lines i get on my tft connected through VGA are not fixable, at least not by my small knowledge of that

    The AVI issue is not a driver issue, but a codec issue. Just download the latest codecs and you should be fine on those (also use VLC Player to play them)

    About how long does it take to boot up your laptop. Did you have any problems with the drivers for Robson?
    Thank you,

    Boot times on his machine won't be representative of anything unless all he has is a fresh install of his OS...who knows what he now has loading in the background?
