Good to know your 3D display is okay now. Cheers!

Go to nVidia Control Panel and check if "Stereoscopic 3D display type" is set as "ASUS 3D Vision Laptop".
The 3D display type being mistakenly set as "3D Vision discover" might produce that...

Hi Atarbrest. If your laptop is 3D-ready and if you have installed the nVidia graphics properly,
then there shouldn't be any problem initializing 3D Mode in the nVidia Control Panel.
The problem...

Hi, Manu. It looks like the IR Emitter doesn't have any driver. That's why we can't find it in the Device Manager.
It may be possible that the connector cable was disconnected, probably because the...

What ATK Package and Sentelic TP driver versions are currently installed in your G74?
I'd had an erratic TP cursor the first time I had my G74 two years ago.
Installed the Sentelic driver 9.1.7.7...

Please be more specific. Which Touch Pad driver are you referring to, Sentelic or Synaptic?
The G74 laptops have either of these two drivers.

To test, I re-downloaded the attached .pdf file on the link I mentioned. I opened it and it still works.
Don't know what went wrong when you did it. Do you have Adobe Reader installed in your laptop?

The safest way of updating BIOS is still through EazyFlash. Here's BrodyBoy's .pdf guide to it:...

Two things you may try to do:
1. Try to do a Windows System Restore to a date when laptop was working well.
2. (What game is causing it to crash?) Go to the game's forum website and look for help.

It could be both software and hardware related-problem. Or it could be either of the two.

If I were in your situation, I would try to troubleshoot it first as hardware-related.
I would turn off...

Yes, any ASUS Service Center near you should repair it. But you would have to pay for the service,
since you say you're already past the warranty period.

Which reminds me of a similar experience when I was updating my CinePlayer.
It kept saying "no updates", but I kept on trying to update it randomly, just the same.
Finally hit the jackpot, and got...

You can try updating it (fingers-crossed) to 5.8.A06 by opening your CinePlayer > Help tab..
It's how I updated mine way back last year. Good luck..

I have the Roxio CinePlayer BD since I bought my G74 in October of 2011.
The only update was the version 5.8.A06 in 2012. No later update/s until now, as far as I know..

What version of the...

Symho, with your 138 posts (meaning you've been in this Forums long enough), you should have known
by now that ASUS is "tone-deaf" to issues like yours- much more if it's related to a second (or...

Deadfazel , the built-in IR emitter acts like a plug-and-play device, so it can't be
located in the Device Manager. Having said that, did you try the initial 3D Mode setup
I enumerated on the post...

Sorry to hear about your laptop. If it's still under warranty, and there's an ASUS Service Center near you,
it would be better to send it for repair. But if you're in a location where it's difficult...

If you have the Sentelic TouchPad on your G74, go to Windows Control Panel > Mouse >
Finger Sensing Pad > Configure > On-pad Functions > (configure as desired)

lynzlovesyou, two things I want to say about your issue:
1. If your laptop is stable until now, then there's no need to update BIOS.
Attempt to update BIOS only when necessary.
2. Strongly suggest...

I know you're from ASUS, but please don't recommend WinFlash
or the ASUS Live Update to update BIOS. Recommend the safer EasyFlash instead..

I've been in these forums long enough to know that...

If your eyes are sensitive to glare like mine, then I suggest you go for the 3D-ready model.
As far as I know, all more recent ASUS 17" laptops have the matte/anti-glare screens.
I have the G74 3D...

Go to BIOS setting (press f2 button repeatedly at startup), go to "Advanced",
then disable "Internal Pointing Device", save and exit.

Welcome to the forums.

Check this thread out for your query: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?23359-Finally-took-the-Win8-plunge..

Yeah. All three keys (ctrl+alt+insert) plus the fn key, and done.

Instead of just the ctrl+alt+insert keys, press ctrl+fn+alt+insert keys altogether.
