Windows 6.1 upgrade on my Samsung i780

I have updated my i780 from 6.0 to 6.1. Im just having a problem with its mouse. It doesnt work anymore. Dpad is also malfunctioning. The button can only click now. Hassle. But I dont know a work around so i have to live with it. Im finding a custom firmware on the net but I dont know how to install it but once a get the upgrade bug again then I try to find out if this custom firmware can address the malfunctioning mouse of my i780.

Anyway, thats the only thing that is wrong with it and overall im satisfied with the upgrade. I like the built in Opera browser and the Samsung Today screen.

My New Toy... Acer Aspire One

Finally I have taken the plunge. Ive purchase a netbook or a umpc. I installed Rons minixp on it and Im satisfied with its speed. Im pondering of purchasing a 9 cell 7200mAh battery that will extend my usage to a whopping 8 hours. Im also purchasing a 16gb SDHC to extend my storage capacity. Im planning on delaying on putting more programs until I purchase a SDHC so that I wont pollute its miniscule bulit it capacity of 8gig.
Here is a pic of the beauty.
