Here’s the catch, after installing the driver then restarting the computer, it has come to a BSOD.

Using it with Vista didn’t cause that much trouble. Actually, he’s using it right now. But his xp desktop computer definitely needed re-format. It wouldn’t even boot to Safe Mode.

And like any member of the support team, I did experiments to find out what happened. I installed its driver on my very own newly formatted xp desktop. Same results, BSOD, can’t boot to safe mode etc.

The error went like this, a dll file (ntdll.dll) is using a memory allocation that windows’ systems dll use. Thus making the latter use a different mem allocation, which sends the system to crash mode.

I’m not sure what the pen tablet’s doing to this dll but it’s definitely mind boggling. And why on earth it worked perfectly fine with vista but won’t with xp??

————-UPDATE————–

I installed xp sp3 and everything’s normal. hehe

there’s a chance i’d be able to see macbook air, face to face by monday during BPO’s book launching care of our company’s supplier.

and speaking of macbook air that is not yet available in local market, it’s not something to look forward to. having a notebook with too many peripherals to bring along is not fun. same for asus eee pc. though
considering just the notebooks, they come handy.

they also have things in common aside from being lightweight. they are using SSDs.

what is SSD?

i was right bout limited write/erase cycles. but searching more about it, it’ll take me years to wear out an SSD. hehe. click HERE to see figures.

so now, what i don’t like about those is cost, which is way more expensive than mechanical drives.
