So far this HP IQ524 is the best thing since sliced bread! What an amazing machine! I'm still learning all the items that are pre-installed, but the touch interface in the Vista Home Premium 64bit is just awesome to use and so easy to get used to! Thanks guys and gals for building these and making them available to the common user!

When ever you have a text window open and you touch in the text field there will be a small popup that you can touch that will activate your keyboard. Also on the side of the screen there is a small keyboard that you will only see the side of it sticking out. By touching this you will pull your full onscreen keyboard out to be used.

Hope this helps!!!!!! Peace

I'm in love with my IQ526T. Can't wait til Windows 7 is better suited for it. Vista leaves a bit to be desired.

Can you help please, or perhaps redirect me to where I can ask?
Recent purchase of Touchsmart IQ845 UK model. Set up for two users. When using the Calendar in the Touchsmart Software I can save items, but when my wife tries to use the calendar in her view it won't save anything.
The best option would be for the calendar in both the views to show the same, synchronised information,regardless of who inputs, but I don't know how to do that?
Any ideas as to what to do so we can both see the same info?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
