Amazon is just fine. I ordered my 6230 from them and no problems.

You probably activated Asus Splendid. look inthe user's guide for how to undo it.

You could go and ask Chastity at NBR. She's been posting a lot over there, lately.

I really think this is between you and the reseller, though. Don't you have consumer protection agencies of any...

Wait a few days and see what MarshallR@ASUS comes up with.

You should uninstall all of the Asus Utilities except Power4Gear, Wireless Console 3, and LifeFrame3. You could even uninstall those but you'd lose some slight keyboard functions.

I don't mean to...

I don't know why you're having this issue, but this may be a workaround for you;

Control Panel >> Ease of Access Center >> Make the Mouse Easier to Use >> Click Activate a window by hovering over...

I don't have the Universal one but you can find all of the flavors here - http://techdows.com/2011/07/download-windows-7-integrated-with-sp1-iso-official-direct-download-links.html

Asus should have 3 base models; the G74sx-A1 (192 bit gfx bus), G74sx-B1 (128 bit gfx bus), G74sx-3DE (192 bid gfx bus and 3D display, glasses, etc) all other model names should be prefaced with...

Just wanted to note that the forum time is approximately 9 minutes fast. Not a big deal except that it's disconcerting to see that someone has replied to my post before I posted it. (when I use the...

Noone that's paid good money deserves it. :\

The notebook can do 3D through HDMI to a 3D compatible monitor/TV. But that doesn't change the fact that you were supposed to get the model with 3D screen and glasses according to the salesperson. ...

To start, vacuum out the vent in the back. Then use compressed air or a canned "air" duster to blow out the remaining dust from the vents.

Well, think of it this way, this gives you a chance to upgrade your system drive to an SSD, then you can move all your data to the remaining good drive. :D

Whether that drive sounds loose or not,...

Then D: and F: are partitions on the same drive. What I meant was that I'm not sure if the drive on the left or the one on the right is the non-System drive when you look at it when the notebook is...

Sounds like you have a bad HDD. You can either RMA your whole notebook, or buy a new HDD.

You could try reseating that HDD connector, though. This involves unpowering the notebook, pull the...

That may be a problem with the magnetic reed switch that tells the notebook if the lid is opened or closed.

Let us know what happens. ;)

Most of the drivers on the official site are very old. Asus apparently doesn't believe in driver updates even though the have a utility to do them.

Look at my Drivers thread for newer versions. ...

Thanks for that driver report. ;)

Oh, crap. :(

Just think, now you can buy a more efficient water heater. That can make a huge difference with your energy bill. ;)

But where do you see 2GB?

They both have 3GB vddr5 from what I can see. So thst means 192 bit bus.

I have used DriverSweeper with no problems except once, after sweeping the nVidia display driver, I could not install a new driver because "Windows could not find a compatable device" or something...

In case you didn't find it, the Registration and Upgrade buttons are in Settings on the left side/bottom.

The @asus members always refer to C. as "he". He or she it doesn't matter. Does it?

If C. ever comes back you can ask. :D
