Hi. A GL752VW seems to be a GL552VW's "big brother". It most probably has the same chipset, the same graphics, the same soundcard, etc, and so, could you tell me how did you get all other things to work under Windows7?
As for the touchpad, it seems like there will be no official driver released, however, I've heard rumours about some works on an unofficial one. Seen someone saying someting about that on some Polish forum (as I'm from Poland). If I have some more info, I will for sure post it right here.
I installed all the most necessary stuff using the keyboard. I was shocked to find that I couldn't even have automatic driver installation for some reason. To get connected at all, I used my Android Phone and connected it via USB, using USB Tethering and connecting the phone to my home WiFi, it should install a driver for that and work just fine. At that point I had a connection. I put in a driver CD for my old MadCatz R.A.T. TE mouse, installed the drivers and then voila, running mouse (it wouldn't install on its own).
Next I installed the Intel Driver Utility thingy as well as Nvidia Geforce Experience, it will get most of the stuff out of the way. Also try getting a Windows 7 Update Package, where it auto-installs all updates with one big file. I don't remember which one I used exactly but I may or may not still have it on the Laptop collecting dust.
By now you should have pretty much everything. The WiFi driver should be installed by the Intel Driver Utility and then you can proceed to get the LAN driver from Realtek or something. I used a program called Driver Booster or something. I also suggest you get the ATK package, if I try to avoid using it, my whole keyboard backlight will not turn on at all, I don't know if you have the same issue or anyone else.
Lastly, I got an external program to deal with the annoying fan issue, which is called Notebook FanControl. Developed open source, it's running just fine on Win 7, I suggest you try it and load the "Asus ROG G752VY.xml" config. As far as I can say, only one of the fans in the profile seem to work obviously. It takes a while to adjust the speeds but I've been looking at RPM readings from SpeedFan and Speccy and it seems to sort of work. I created a custom profile which works fine as well, if you want that just let me know.
I hope this helps, if you have any more infos regarding a working touchpad driver, feel free to let me know. :cool:
I wish you a hustle-free driver installation and all hail Win 7.
