More Discoveries on My Kohjinsha SH8...
(1) Slow InterVideo WinDVD and volume mixer response/hang when running in battery mode
Should switch to "High Performance" power plan. All the while I have been using "Balanced" power plan when running battery, somehow the processor slows down certain programs or such over time to conserve battery life.... once switch over to "High Performance", everything works sweetly...
(2) Windows Aero
(Right-click, "Personalize" => "Window Colour and Appearance" => "Appearance").
Vista is actually able to realised that Kohjinsha SH8 is not capable of running Windows Aero (needs at least 1GHz processor speed), and sets the display to Windows Vista Basic (i.e. Aero Lite)... Initially thought that by switching to Windows Classics (non-vista) will be faster but then read that they actually slow down the system as they are using the processor to work, while Windows Aero/Vista Basic uses the graphics card to do so.... anyway did not shown any significance when I tried with both, so still stick to Vista Basic since nicer!!! ... Hence, I also choose the "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer, under the "Control Panel\Performance Information and Tools" => "Performance Options" => "Visual Effects" Tab...
(3) SH8 Windows Experience Index (Based Upon 5)
- Processor: 2.0
- Memory (RAM): 4.5
- Graphics: 3.0
- Gaming graphics: 2.5
- Primary hard disk: 4.4
So cannot run intensive program eg. MATLAB, cannot play graphics intensive gaming... wait a minute... I don't do need to run MATLAB etc, I don't play onlne/intensive games (only play Bejeweled 2, Minesweeper)... so good enough for me!!! Hahaha!!!!! ..... Somemore data transfer speed is good!!! Hahaha!!!!!!
(4) Full-screen Laggy Playback on Youtube
Same solution as playing any video with Windows Media Player, WinDVD, just make sure the Tablet PC Input Panel is closed (i.e. the tab edge on the side of the screen is not to be seen). If it can be seen, just open and close it once.
(5) Screen Rotation Button
Do NOT update the Display adapter (Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GU Express Chipset Family)driver, just use Kohjinsha's one. Or at most use driver version 7.14.10.1272.... Updated once and the button ceased to work...
(6) Audio Driver
Pleae make sure "Realtek High Definition Audio" driver is installed in order to prevent the SH8 from giving out a cuper low volume... Seen some forums that some people got this problem... If you happen to be one of them, try installing the "Realtek High Definition Audio" driver and see how. Anyway, the Realtek Sound Manager allows you to slide the balance for left and right channels, so quite useful for theose VCDs / video clips with dual sound, then you can slide to select left or right channel easily....
Hope these provide some help to other Kohjinsha SH8 users!!!.... now waiting to collect another toy, my free HP mini-notebook 2133, hahahahaha!!!!Thursday, July 10, 2008
