    Hello I have a Asus G73JH that I got back in the summer of 2010. My computer did not come with an operation system/driver disk, I had to put it on disks. Since then I have moved and I can't find them And I need to do a system repair, so I'm pretty sure the operating system will remain, but i'm not sure about the drivers.

    I hate to be a bother, but could someone send me the driver CD.

    Hello Josea. Sadly the download links to chastity's post do not work. I'd really appreciate if you can share the workaround. Im looking for the g73jh driver and application disc. Thanks in advance.

    You can hit F9 at startup and try to restore from the recovery partition too. Otherwise, you'll need to hunt for the drivers on your own for now at least. I suppose, i could compile a list of the drivers you need tomorrow.

    Tijo can you do the compilation of drivers for the g73JH, because I am having a hard time finding the right drivers for the JH model. The other resources that I go too aren't updated or it gives me problems and blue screens. Thanks in advance! planning to reformat soon.

    I'm really looking for the original driver and application disk. I no longer have the recovery partition and many drivers/apps from the asus support website don't work properly or encounter errors during installation. Also my keyboard lights no longer work. I updated to the latest bios version but still no go. I wanted to do a fresh reinstall of windows7 and use the original driver and application disk to see if i can get my keyboard lighting working again. If you or anyone know a source where i can get the iso i would greatly appreciate it.
    thanks

    I dont think Chastity link work anymore fella I know it stopped a while back after it was downloading at an evil slow speed and it took me 2 weeks back in the day and it kept cutting out.

    I do have a copy of the original drivers reference on disc at home I suppose I could try and upload it somehow or create a torrent for it. Most of the drivers are on the official website and there are newer drivers that can replace the old ones.

    Anything i can link directly from Asus or the manufacturer's drivers, i will do so. I will also list the drivers in my preferred order of installation. Some of these drivers might not be the latest versions, but all are working perfectly on my G73JH. Right now, what is listed are the drivers and utilities i use, the rest, i decided not to install as i did not need it.

    I don't have to put links to every driver for now, but i'm going though the list of drivers i have saved on my computer to make sure i don't forget anything. If you see a driver that you need and isn't listed, let me know and i'll try to hunt it down. I need to find what the model of the realtek chip is for the audio in order to get the right drivers. I have the riles on my computer, but it's not something i'll be able to upload on NBR. Aside from that, i have so many versions of the webcam drivers that i'll have to verify which one fixed my webcam issues.

    There are other Asus utilities i didn't list, however if you want them, i can always put them up.

    Try installing the latest Realtek Audio Drivers (R2.67) from the Realtek website.

    You may try to run CCleaner to search for Creative stuff registries and delete those when you have already uninstalled the Creative software, then install the Creative Audigy again. Another way is to use the Driver Sweeper to remove Creative driver stuff then reinstall again.

    Hey Tijo, what issues have you got with your webcam? I have problems with my webcam too. If I use it on Yahoo messenger or skype there is a random chance that it goes off then will on again. It is like pausing or stoping in random times.

    Another problem I have is that my mic is not working anymore.

    The mic should work out of the box with the right realtek driver. I'll get around to putting those in my driver post tomorrow (eastern time).

    The only problem i had with my webcam is that the picture was reversed, but a registry tweak fixed that pretty quickly. In the end, i think i ended up installing the webcam driver from Asus, but i had to disable UAC in order to get it to install properly. The driver version listed in the device manager is this: 61.5.200.280

    Heads up that i added the audio drivers (which should work fine with Creative stuff) and the webcam driver. If you want something else to be added, i can probably add it except for the audigy software.

    Still no dice. I uninstalled Realtek, Creative software, rebooted each time. I ran driver sweeper, cleaned all references of both, and rebooted. Installed the latest Realtek drivers, rebooted, and just tried installing the Audigy program and get "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system" when I run the setup.

    I'll fix the audio driver link, it should technically work.

    For P4G, you need to have the ATK package installed, if it is already installed, reinstall it.

    EDIT: Audio should be fixed

    2nd EDIT: ATK Package is up, still can't believe i forgot that one.

    I had that error with my webcam. What i did was disable UAC completely, restart and install the driver with admin rights. That worked for me, not sure it will for you. If it doesn't report back here and i'll try to find another driver for those.

    I'll fix the MEI link shortly, personally i don't use it, if i remember correctly it has to do with Intel VPro features. It shows up as an unrecognized pci device in device manager if you don't install it. The only reason i installed if because of my OCD side that didn't like that unrecognized device.

    MEI Link fixed: direct download for the latest version and link to the Asus page with all versions.

    Is the Ethernet device being detected in Device Manager? If not, it may indicate a hardware failure.

    Lan and wireless are totally different adapters, you need the wireless driver for the wireless and the lan driver for the lan.

    With the driver installed it will look like the screenshot attached. Without the driver, it could be a device with an exclamation mark on it.
