Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
So, I recently sent my XPS m1730 back to Dell, because I'm using an m17x now. The biggest blow to my routine is not being able to view the g15 LCD screen when playing a game, because it had the time on it, and RAM/memory usage. I play games full screen obviously, so the whole display is taken up and I have to minimize the screen to see the time and everything else obviously. I was wondering if there was some sort of overlay software that I could pin on TOP of the current full-screen window, preferably somewhat transparent like the current W7 look. I don't know if this is a ridiculous request or not, because I have to imagine someone has thought of this before, but I can't find anything on google. Something that would be low-resources, and a small rectangular window with like 20% opacity in the lower right-hand corner to give me the time/RAM/CPU usage.
If there is no software like this, I imagine there's some kind of registry tweaking that could be done to switch the prioritization of windows so that a smaller window can be left on TOP of a full screen window [like my game]. I don't care if it's a hilariously risky tweak - I'd be willing to do it.
