Asus U1E Windows XP drivers nightmare (so to say…)
27 02 2008Recently I was stupid enough to assist one of my co-workers in buying ultra light notebook. The one called Asus U1E was chosen due to decent weight to hardware power ratio. I’m not sure which exactly forces make Asus to pretend XP is not supported by this goodness, but Vista’s “spectacular” performance on this brand new CoreDuo with two Gigs of RAM has left me really surprised…
Anyway, decision was made that we want this notebook work, not creep…
List of XP drivers and utilities download links after the break.
Drivers: Chipset, ATK, AUDIO, VGA, LAN, Modem, PCMCIA, TouchPad, Wireless, BlueTooth, Camera, Others
Utilities: BIOS-Utilities, Wireless Console
Hi
Do you have a working link for the wireless driver? I’ve got everything to work (mostly by using the u1f drivers) except the wireless card.
Regards,
Alex
Sure, updated with working URL, sorry for that.
Thanx. Now my wireless card also works. The only thing missing now as far as I know is the Power4 Gear button. I tried to install the driver for the u1f, but it doesn’t seem to work.
I have to say that the downgrade to XP is the best thing that has happened to this computer. I was a bit disappointed with the performance with Vista, and the hard drive was working _a lot_. But now it works very well.
Never mind about the Power4 Gear. I had forgotten to install the ATK driver first. When I did, I could use the U1F Power4 Gear Utility for XP (except I can’t get the hardware key to work, but that’s a minor problem).
And what about changing brightness of the screen? I have nearly everything working but can’t fix this problem
