Hi everybody,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I have the same unit and just
recently upgraded to Windows 7 from original Vista. I don't use video
over HDMI, however I have a question regarding getting to work all the
other things in Windows 7.

Did you by any chance gotten to work this small LCD screen under
Windows 7? I got to the point that the driver for ASeries device (TFT
display) has been loaded in Win7, however couldn't install software
responsible for controling this display. I copied the installed version
from computer running Vista, restored all the entries in the registry
and can see (in Task Manager) that everything gets loaded, however the
small LCD screen displays "ASUS" only - there is nothing else there. I
was trying to install this software in the compatibility mode (Vista
SP2), however it didn't work - the installation program freezes.

Please let me know how to get this screen working under Win7.

Also, what is the most powerful CPU we can put into this box? I'm
running AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+, and was wondering if could put
6000+.

Thanks in advance,
Jacek
