Olaf's thoughts about Delphi, IntraWeb and other dev stuff : EKON 13: Intellibook – An Exciting New Idea for Publishing Magazines and Books

  • Oliver Giesen · 2 months ago
    Did you ask Hadi about Windows 7? As far as I understood it, he did install Windows 7 on the Intellibook and I don't remember him mentioning any problems...

    It could be that it's an issue with WPA and WPA2 (I only tried those). At ekon there was an open WLAN. I didn't get back to Hadi yet - I don't know if he tried with a secured WLAN ...

    Ah, I'm not the only one having problems. Finally I also ended with the installation of good old XP.
    But: til now I couldn't get that UMTS modem working. Google "said" that I might have to make some firmware/bios-update?!? But who is the manufacturer of that notebook?
    Nearly 40 hours of harcore try-and-error but the UMTS modem has to be "activated" before drivers can be installed. The activation key (<Fn>+<ß> or <_> in US) won't activate anything :-(

    EDIT: got the solution: The netbook has got a slot for a sim card but the modem itself is missing, it's an option! LOOOL - I will send the netbook back, what shall I do with a card slot and no modem?!? Spend a hundred more euros? Silly thing!

    Got windows 7 working on this hardware. Get the latest vista driver direct from realtek, wifi started working for me. That is cersion 5_6.9067.0710.2008. Also, ethernet can be had directly from JMicron's website (it's a JMC260). Have a few other missing drivers at this point in 7 but now i can handle it from the netbook. Hope this helps.

    The trick that worked for me, was to start the Realtek driver setup in Vista compatibility mode. Under standard Win7 mode it just terminated with a message that it wouldn't work for that OS version.
