Hi I recently acquired an old touch screen PC from ebay. It was originally used as an EPOS system in a shop. When I bought It I was hoping i could remove the touch screen and use it on another monitor but I cant as the manufacturer has removed the touch controller and hardwired it onto the motherboard. So i still want to make use of it in some way or other. perhaps to do something over my network? I have a desktop running Vista Premium which I use as a media PC and a laptop running XP and Vista premium dual boot. Do you guys have any ideas or suggestions? The spec of the PC is basic to say the least. 266mhz processor with 64mb RAM. It was originally running ME but I have installed XP instead. The internal setup of the PC is like a laptop. It uses laptop RAM and a laptop hard drive. It only has one laptop size IDE socket which the hard drive is using and no CD ROM drive. the graphics and processor (i think Pentium I) are both integrated into the motherboard. It has 2 USB ports, a PS/2 Keyboard socket, LAN port, 2 serial ports and a proprietary port for connection the receipt printer. Cheers Steve

Hi sorry you're right i should have included my specs. It has a 1.8ghz centrino and 1gb ram. The graphics card is an integrated Intel 855GME with 64mb ram. further details can be found in this data sheet http://vilpublic.fujitsu-siemens.com/vil/p...ebook_t4010.pdf Thanks Steve

Hi I'm going to be given a free copy of Vista Home Premium from my work. I was just wondering if you think my T4010 lifebook would be able to run it ok? I know it won't be able to run aero because of the graphics card. But do you think it will be able to cope with the rest? Thanks Steve

When I try to play videos in media player or media centre the playback always jumps. It seems like its missing frames out but the audio is fine. Has anyone else encountred these problems? Is there a solution. Im using an ASUS A8NE Motherboard with an Athlon 64 3500 processor and a gig of ram. My graphics card is GeForce 730GT. Im using the latest NVIDIA Nforce drivers for my motherboard and the NVIDIA vista drivers for the graphics. Both downloaded from the NVIDIA website. Im using the Advanced Vista Codec Package v4.1.5 codecs Cheers S

Hi I have vista running on my media centre PC. I have it plugged into my HDTV using the DVI out on the graphics card and into my old CRT monitor using the VGA out. Everything works fine doing general tasks such as web browsing etc on either or both displays. But when I launch Media Centre it loads on the TV but half the monitor goes Black and everything freezes. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Media centre works fine if I'm only using one display either the monitor or the TV but not with two. Thanks Steve
