    Hello

    I recently got an old LG P100, and I'm now trying to install Windows 7 64 bit on it.
    I've been looking for drivers, but LG only have Vista drivers on their support site.

    Could anyone please point me in the right direction where to find Win 7 drivers for this little machine.

    I'm down to 2 yellow marked devices, and one of them must be the screen digitizer. Also, I can't get the (physical) buttons on the screen to work.

    Thanks in advance!

    Congratulations on buying a great little device. I looked for a P100 in the US for quite some time and could not find one. I'm assuming they are more common in the EU.

    Have you tried loading the Vista drivers?

    Yes it's quite a neat little machine, never seen it myself before.

    I tried the Vista drivers at first. Most of them worked like they should, but some complained about wrong OS version. The driver for the digitizer is one of them. So now I'm trying to figure out what digitizer it is, and if there's a driver for another PC model, or even another PC brand, that I can use. It seems to be a Fujitsu panel, but that's about all I know about it.

    Also the touchpad is behaving a bit weird, probably got the wrong driver there as well :) I'm using this installation for trying different drivers. When I've nailed them all, I'll do a complete reinstallation with working drivers only.

    Well I can answer my own questions I guess.

    No 64 bit drivers for the digitizer (that I've found).

    I reinstalled the computer with Win 7 Pro 32 bit and the Vista drivers work just fine. Too bad, there's 4 GB RAM in the machine. I know the lost RAM will bug me ;)

    Well, at least I'm glad you got it working. This was such a great little device, I'm surprised there are not more users out there.
