is it just me or...my mini freezes at the Q red screen...I notice it does this when I have my Logitech G5 USB mouse connected.

Does it happen when the mouse is 'not' connected?

When I disconnect my G5 mouse before booting up it boots normally

P.S. Windows 7 + 3GB RAM on this netbook is great

raptormonkey · 27 Oct 2009 at 17:09

Have you tried a different mouse?

Ok mine arrived a few minutes ago...Let's say I install Win 7 on it. How would I restore it back to Windows XP factory configuration?

It has a CD/DVD restore creator thing you can use. It doesn't come with a restore CD or partition.

Will try my G9 mouse soon...

I just tried Team Fortress 2 on this and I'm getting around 9-14fps with the 191.07 drivers.

Anyone else here tried TF2 on theirs?

so they will take any ssd?

smsmasters · 27 Oct 2009 at 20:15

Counter strike source and TF2 are pretty much not really playable for me on this netbook Can barely get 15 fps...usually around 10fps...

Also, according to CPUZ the timings for the RAM are 11-15-15-63...

Is there a way to set it to 7-7-7 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-046-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1264

i would like to know that aswell, can you just swap ?

raptormonkey · 27 Oct 2009 at 21:27

I would have thought so. SSD should fit no problem at all.

smsmasters · 28 Oct 2009 at 00:06

hmmm I can't get bluetooth working on mine...I'm using windows 7 and it won't detect my nokia phone and my nokia phone can't detect the netbook either.

Anyone else having issues?
