Hey guys i just bought the laptop yesterday. I have a question regarding this issue. Why does the message "Windows Explorer is not working" keep coming up? i have to keep restarting win exp everytime this happens. any fix?

Faster be the 1st

determine the cause first? run event viewer, go to windows logs > application, see if got any hints there

Ya, the thing is, specs ain't everything for everyone
Some prefer light + long battery life budget laptops~
The U36 is considered very good in terms of specs if compared to other laptops like the Toshiba Portege
And the design depends on preference... I have to admit the design may resemble Dell Inspirons/Vostro/XPS... but still okay la, looks quite nice

Allright i did that and this seems to be the problem:

Alien language

Woah Hikari gives good price! Anyone else selling?

reaperious - try do as below:

1. download & reinstall Asus ATKACPI driver and hotkey-related utilities

2. get a windows7 cd (any) - repair it

should fix the problem.

Other than stupid bloatwares, asus laptops only weakness on hardware is HARDDISK - they only give Seagate 6400rpm HDD, very slow. make lots of software slower than it should be.
