NOOB Question about Xp Tablet

[Guest]

[cereal killer]

I'm looking at buying an 02 from a friend of mine. He has Vista Ultimate installed. I have a spare copy of Xp tablet that I'd prefer to install. How well does it work? I did a search of the forum and couldn't really find an answer.

I would definitely install XP. Much faster. Do a forum search under drivers and you will see a zip file with everything you need.

I'm asking specifically if the tablet version works.  I can where people have used XP Pro. I;m asking because on another UMPC in this case I believe it was an Everun Evernote they installed tablet and a bunch of stuff didn't work.

The drivers referred to include a Wacom driver for the digitizer. Once all the drivers for the OQO are added or replaced you should be fine. The Evernote would have lacked some of the tablet capabilities even if Tablet XP was installed because it as designed with a sensitive (soft) touch screen rather than an active digitizer like the OQO. Also the tablet extensions would likely have taxed the processor to or beyond its limits.

I have 2 OQO's running on XP tablet. Look at my signature on the bottom of my posts. Also look at the geekbench thread on the software forum and you will see that my 2 XP tablet machines have the highest benchmarks of anyone else's that has posted.

I appreciate the help. I asked about Tablet because that's what I have a spare copy of. Now all I have to do is to find that slot that the WWAN card goes into.

I was under the impression that if it did not come with WWAN, then it has neither the antenna nor a slot for the card.

Just to clarify because there are assumptions by many older CD and the original Pilot and Palm crowd that Tablet XP2 retained Grafitti(BlockRecongizer) support and MS officially and unabashedly dumped Graffiti support in Tablet XP2 and alot of tablet owners woke up to character recognizer.

The reason this decision was baffling was because MS didn't dump G-Block on their Pocket PC's, nor their PDA phones and you can still write your letters on the left and numbers on the right.

I ordered the 02 tablet option for the sole expectation of using GBlock (using Palm since the Pilot 1000 in 1996 and ever since) and had a harsh reality when realized that didn't exist. I've purchased PocketPC PDA"s and PPC based GPS since and they still preserve GBlock.

it took a while to adjust to handwriter and the key difference is, GBlock defines a set of glyphics to comply too while handwriter is more like a real time spell checker and it has to learn your imperfections and adjust.
Afterwards, it is usable except for its inability to distingiuise between capital i's and L's since you don't write the preceding upstroke to denote a cap letter following.
Instead, you really ensure lower case letters if you split the letter with at least 55% below the dotted line and handwriter consitenly replies with lower case letter.

PracTICe, practis@, practicess.

ok, before anyone jumps on me - yes, I know what I am doing and yes, I read everything I could and have installed ALL of the drivers ttat I could possibly find - may have missed something and that is why I'm asking for help..

Now, a little defensive I know, but I've seen some of the recent threads...

Back to our normal program. I have three unknown "Base System Device" errors showing up in Device Manager after installing XP Media Center Edition (SP2 latest everything etc.) All devices appear to be functional - FP reader, SD reader, no camera, no BT - so I can't figure it out, but it bugs me.

1. Has anyone else experienced this?
2. Could someone provide me with a screen shot of their device manager or take a look at mine ane help me figure out what's missing?
3. Anyone have a fix that was make this easy and go away without perusing screenshots? :-)

Thanks!

Do the windows updates.  That usually fixes missing drivers.

[lyen]

If you have 3 missing drivers, most likely is the Wacom tablet, the scoller, and the bluetooth. Please go to http://www.oqoasis.com to get your drivers. If nothing helps, go to http://forum.oqoasis.com and ask Picasso for the original OQO tablet XP installation/restore disc. Also, post your screen capture over there.

...the original OQO tablet XP installation/restore disc...

His post has a different title "T61". May not be an OQO. Don't know why he is posting here unless he just saw the word NOOB.
