Kohjnsha tools

To use on screen keyboard (by microsoft),

START>RUN>Type osk>OK

An onscreen keyboard will pop-up. Convenient if we use it as Tablet mode (becos ours is not XP tablet, we need to find ways of inputing thru touch screen).

I'm looking for handwriting recognition software. so far found Penoffice by Phatware. For pocket pc user, u must be familiar with the Caliigrapher software famous for its award winning handwriting recognition input. Same engine is included in Penoffice. Go download v2.6 for trial of 30days.

http://www.phatware.com/penoffice/index.html

Other good to have software is the PhatPad v4.2 (something like WIndows Journal i think)

_______________________________________________________

Essential software for Kohjinsha:

-(Free)On screen keyboard (thanks to tip in this forum): Put shortcut in task bar for quick access
- (Free)Daemon Tools Virtual CD driver to load .ISOs as CDROMs to install your software or playback those nasty multimedia titles that require a CDROM
daemon home page
- (Free)Evernote for taking ink notes and lots of other stuff, but must pay if you want handwriting and shape recognition to get Evernote Plus.

__________________________________________________

eg Irfanview and of cos the popular, powerful and yet free The GIMP.

__________________________________________________

I'm using penoffice, very good recognition, even natural curvy writing also can recognize. u can download the latest 2.6 version for a 30 day trial. pocket pc user should be familiar with its calligrapher recognition function.

____________________________________________

To recover OS press F4 after the splash screen.
Read and accept the End User License agreement.
Select Protect/Recovery
Click on Phoenix Firstware Recover Pro
Click Pick Backup Point and Select the restore points if you have created one.
Select Factory Restore Point and click Restore if you have not created a restore point previously.

These are taken from the KJS user manual.

I've tried the recovery process before. It works fine.

Remember to restore only the OS drive; drive C. Like this, all your personal data in D are preserved. I did a factory restore and yes, its back to the original state when collected, but with D drive data in tact. no need to use the xp cd provided becos they have a factory image hard embeded liao. so save the need of having an external drive.

heres a simple photo hunt game to play on ur kjs. foc. only 5 level. but quite fun on touchscreen. anyone have any good game reccomendation which can put the touchscreen to good use pls post it here. thks!

The nice thing about owning a "slower" computer is that you learn to adapt. Don't expect to be playing Quake Wars or Supreme Commander on your Kohjinsha. There are however lots of free games that are very playable. You can find a shortlist of the best ones here.

______________________________________________

1. You can have your wireless LAN enabed all the time through the BIOS setup screen. -> Press and hold F2 during your system boot-up and you'll see a green BIOS setup screen. Search through one of the settings and look for Wireless connection: enabled/disabled. By defaut, both Bluetooth and Wireless connections are disabled. Once enabled/disabled, these connections stay enabled/disabled all the time until you disable/enabled again through the BIOS setup or manually by pressing Fn + F4.

It is near to Chinatown, pls refer to their website http://www.doml.com.sg/contact.asp.No sure about others? I am quite happy with the martin field screen protector on my Dopod PDA phone, very lasting (though some minor scratches due to the keys in my pocket), hence decided to put one on my KJS.

For those who want a virtual cd rom can consider this :http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpvirtualcd.htmlJust follow the instructions.A bit tedious but find it safer than daemons tools that triggers off a lot of antivirus and anti spyware alerts

Alternatively, you can use this -> http://www.elby.ch/fun/software/index.html to have a virtual CD ROM.It reads ISO, BIN and CCD format. This software is free.

Doing a tutorial will be a bit too long-winded and may ended up confusing the modders... I feel..

Your touchscreen should be working all along. Try by moving your finger on the touchscreen, and the pointer on the screen moves. If the pointer does not move, the device drivers for this touchscreen are missing, installed incorrect or corrupted. Try uninstalling the PenMount progam by using Add/Remove Programs under the Control Panel OR under its program folder under the Start menu.The PenMount installation files (setup.exe) are in the C:\KJS\Driver\TouchScreen folder.

Maybe you will need to check if the PenMount 6000 USB right is working correctly in the Human Interface Devices (HID) under the Device Manager. If you see an exlamation mark at this PenMount 6000 USB, then the drivers are not working correctly.Regarding your question, the UMPC's touchscreen is similar to those on the PDAs.

__________________________________________________

Yup..ordered it from Conics.....pretty good people to deal with .....

____________________________________________________

For your info, the UMPC is not powerful enough to run Photoshop application.Meanwhile, you can use a less resource-intensive based image editing program like PhotoFiltre 6.2.7 (http://www.photofiltre.com). It is quite similar to Photoshop but available as freeware but not other versions listed on the website. I'm have it installed on my UMPC.

Currently, there are 2 cases that SA1 UMPC would be fitted perfectly.Bree Organizer (from Yahoo! Auctions or eBay SG Auctions) and Zeroshock III 10.4" case (available on internet. Try searching there.)

I using "Xilisoft DVD Ripper Platinum 4" to convert my DVD to mp4 and played on the media player classic. Very smooth.

www.kuroten.com/zs3.htmCarry many other Elecom products as well...
You can try SLS 6th floor, the shop just in front of the lift, next to Million mobile.

Just went to Funan IT Mall. Was looking for a 12.1 - 13.3 inch Elecom Zeroshock 3 laptop sleeve. Went to challenger and was told it that it was sold out. Got one from South Asia Computer located at level 3. Price was $39At challenger it was sold for $42 (Non-member) , $37 (member)Conclusion, those who are not member of challenger could perhaps get a better deal for Zeroshock 3 laptop sleeve.

If F4 recovery is not available, it should be ok as long as you have a cloned copy of your system (which is bootable) as your backup copy. Most importantly, backup your the following folders:C:\KJS <- KJS UMPC's Drivers and Supplied ApplicationsC:\Windows\I386 <- KJS UMPC's Windows XP Home Installations Files
