I just finished upgrading my #Asus #EeePC 1005PEB by formatting the hard drive to remove the awful #Windows 7 starter & installed Windows XP SP3.

Even though it shipped with Win 7, it does support XP & all of the drivers are available on the Asus website.

Everything is working great but unfortunately the Elantech touchpad driver Is no longer recognizing multitouch support.

It worked perfectly fine under Windows 7. I guess I'll try uninstalling it and try out another version... 🫤

I installed XP on an old laptop a while ago as well, and most driver problems I ran into were solved by a driver collection I found on Internet Archive. A big 1.5 GB collection of all sorts of legacy drivers, that sort of thing. Might be worth checking Internet Archive, if you haven't already.

@zoviazzg Asus has a few other older versions of the Elantech drivers hosted on their site. I'm going to try those out and see if they work. If not, then checking out this archive will definitely be my next step.

Thanks for the suggestion!
