“Oh, and BTW, Windows 7 “only” uses 7.5 GB of disk space, whereas Vista uses 15 GB I think.

Yeah you thought right, with the OEM instalation only as it has got recovery partition, lots of wall papers etc.

So what I did, formatted the whole drive and made two partitions (15G+25G)approx. and then tried Vista ultimate first just to see the performance. It was faster then the OEM & took less then 10Gigs. Then I’ve installed WinSe7en Ultimate32, installed all the vista drivers & software, from the Fujitsu site. At first the keyboard light & Rotation keys were behaving funny. So I’ve uninstalled the U1010 SystemXtension utility and put the U2010 one. That’s all. Auto rotation, manual rotation, input panel, key board light, fn key & up down keys all are working perfectly except the Alt key. near biometric sensor. But if I hold that key it acts as Alt+Ctl+Del. Haven’t tried much though. With the older display driver, calibration is not perfect in win7. so download the latest driver from Fujitsu site.

Now you’ve got a supper fast UMPC.

Has anyone had trouble with SD card reader? Mine had worked before but is not seeing the cards (have tried several) anymore. No error messages or anything, just nothing happens when insert. Any suggestions? EB??
Also…not sure if related or not but occasionally have similar issue with some USB portable hard drives.

Thanks Andre, and EliasB!! I just used your files and instructions and Windows 7 works great! This breathed life into a previously sluggish device.

Kunchi, Are you saying the mouse drivers from 2010/win 7 may help my autorotate or were you assessing something else?

Update regarding the error on the Screen rotation:
found a davlan blog site:
I also receive this odd “error in cuisdk initialization” when I tried to rotate. At first I thought it was the button driver/utility installation problem in xp/vista but I realized it was actually a video driver problem. I installed the vista version (choose compatibility mode option when it fails regularly because it’s not designed for windows 7) and it selected override the current version which was 8.5 or something to the 7.14 version. A reboot later and I was auto rotating by swivel or manually rotating by button; no problems.
