hardware fault. you are entitled to free replacement under hp warranty.

I have no problem with my TX2...

 Your problems are likely:

Faulty Hardware

or Vista (mainly the bloatware by hp...and the resource requirements)

I run windows 7 pro (retail release) directly (and free from my school) from microsoft and have no problems what so ever.

Vista is not the evil product some claim, in fact the majority of that Win 7 code you're running? it's lifted from Vista. Also note that you're not running the "retail release/free" since the retail version is not released yet, and will not be free from MS.  Let's get it right before going off spouting nonsense!  

 I am in no way saying that vista is evil. Im saying that vista is known to run pointless services when they are not needed and does not support full touch. So basically useless for this type of system. REguarding the free windows 7 Please refer to this link "http://blogs.msdn.com/gautam/archive/2009/08/13/making-windows-7-available-to... " where windows 7 has been avaiable free for download scence aug 6th. and the direct store link http://msdn01.e-academy.com/elms/Storefront/Storefront.aspx?campus=jsr_ist&am... And the link to 64bit with the price tag "free" http://msdn01.e-academy.com/elms/Storefront/ViewProductDetails.aspx?campus=jsr_ist&np1=112&p=1444
Thank you.

Look really closely at that link.. It's not "free" nor is it "retail" It's a school that's apparently improperly making MSDN media available. Windows 7 is not a "free product" You're also off-base when you say 'Vista is useless for this type of system" Vista not only works fine, it's the preinstalled OS on these very same systems. Diane

Im a student at this collage and there is nothing legally wrong with this. I am not saying its a free product but microsoft is making it free to download for students at select collages that partnership with microsoft. Microsoft gives you a unique serial and you download directly from microsfts servers. And im saying vista is useless because:

No multitouch support without programs such as hp... "touch" software

Poor touch user interface

also if you look at the posts on this site you will notice that there are many people saying that windows 7 preforms and fuctions perfectly on these laptops.

(below is the how this works directly from the JSR center page.

Or just google:

MSDN Academic Alliance Program free windows 7 for students.

2) Select Software Once you've logged into the system, click on the Software tab to view the software titles available to you.

3) Select Delivery Option Some software titles provide more than one delivery option. Please be careful to choose the delivery option that is right for you (it is not always possible to switch delivery options after you've completed your order).

Depending on the delivery option you select, one of the following set of instructions will apply to you. If your software requires a serial number or activation code, it will be displayed on the order confirmation page (you can always access this through My Software).

I agree not everyone has theese privilages. And nor was i stating everyone does. I was simpially stationg that I got MY copy for free.

And yes I am aware we all have our opinions. I supported vista 200% in the days after xp. but with 7 now, Im all for seven mostly for the higher end UI and better accessibility for handycapt students/people. I am not handycaped, but do have 2 friends who are. Im just saying on theese laptops, hp could have used a non-multi touch digitiser or just kept the tx2500 around untill 7s release then the tx2 for the full multi touch experiance. Mainly because of all the unsatisified customers who bought a multi touch notebook before the 7 upgrade start date. they got the rough end of the stick.

i have revised the above statement to better suit my opinion and give more details.

Hardware issues are very difficult to diagnose from software. It's unfortunate, but true. (And I've been in QA for over 10 years myself and in IT for almost 20.)

I've had no problems at all with my pen. I do have an occasional annoying issue where the screen will register a "phantom" touch on the lower left side of the screen repeatedly, but a reboot always fixes it. I'm running the Win 7 RC with the beta N-Trig drivers, so I'm not too surprised to see the occasional issue.
