    Ok I just went out and bought this sweet laptop carbon fiber the works. However I must put XP on it to use it at work. I have XP on it but am having a few issues.
    1. Function keys do not work
    2. GPRS does not work and cannot install utility to use the card
    3. Cannot install Media Stick driver
    4. Are you supposed to be able to use the speed/stamina while its on or do you need to reboot?

    Im not sure what other things should be working but any utilities/programs this was suppoed to work with would be nice to have.

    I also tried to DL the model specific drivers but it states I need Vista and will not continue.

    Does anyone out there possibly have an ISO or an image that has XP that I can load on this thing that might work? Or any insight on working out the rest of the bugs?

    ISO would be preferred from an older model and ill update any drivers if need be.

    HELP this thing is killing me if I can get it working ill have to return it...I dont want to!!

    Id be willing to pay someone for a fully working ISO at this point!!!!!

    Email me ASAP
