I know, but maybe I am lucky. I don't have that problem. I just upgraded it from Vista directly. I always turn off the GPS on my P29. It works fine. Just one time, I got the smart network crashed with other programs, and have to reinstalled it. Hope this helps!
I tried to hide the floating window, and I got some problems after a while. So I decide to keep the floating as on the window background. I still think that smart network (the current version) is not very stable yet.
