hi guys....

the guide for the xp windows installation in the 1st thread is applicable for k50ab only or both k50ab and k40ab?

tq..

Both have the same hardware, so what did you think?

Both share the same hardware except for lcd n numpad. Others all the same. So its applicable.

yes u can. and the warranty wont be void..

just take out the battery. and unscrew 1 of the screws beside the battery compartment.

then the other 4 screws are beehind the laptop. the near edge.. back panel. unscrew the 4 screws and slide out the cover.. u shall see whats in ur lappy..

they are essentially the same thing, as far as Win7 is concerned...

Enterprise is for business volume licensing, while Ultimate is fro consumer market...

i have download most recent version 216 for my k40ab
is it ok to upgrade the bios
but there is no problem untill now
just curious ehhehe

Windows 7 Pro have XP mode for your older apps. Just 2 days more for official launch.

Plus ASUS did a great job uploading all Windows 7 drivers in mid September. Maybe there will be newer Win 7 driver release few days after Win 7 official launch.

hi guys....

i've installed windows xp using the guide in the 1st post....

but when i go to device manager to make sure my installation is completed or not, it shows 3 items with question mark (?)/exclamation mark (!). my fren told me that the installation is not completed....

the 3 items are;network controller, sm bus controller, and audio device on high definition audio bus

can someone help and guide me to solve this problem?(i'm using k40ab)

tq in advance

network controller - either LAN or wireless
audio device - sound
sm bus controller - mobo

of course it's incomplete, XP dun ve the generic driver for these hardware... dun forget, XP is a 8yr old PS...

but i've followed all the steps in the guide...
does it mean that the guide is not complete?

so ve u installed the drivers already???

hmm.. if r bios version is 203..
u shud have problem with waking up in sleep mode and adjusting brightness if ur in dGPU mode...

bios update is recommended.. just start easy flash in bios.. piece of cake..

yup... i've installed all the the drivers downloaded from the link in the guide.....
but the problem that i've mention still occur

if compare wit DELL STUDIO XPS 16??? (compare about laggys)

Yet again another amusing post.Its a 4670 u are talking about, capable of playing Crysis at mid/high settings and you're asking whether it will lag on those games?

Suit yourself
