    First, two issues that have been bugging me.

    1) Touchpad. Whenever I enable multitouch, it get's glitchy. Like...Ill slide my finger to the right and the cursor moves to the Up-left. Or it gets stuck and not move at all. This stops whenever I disabled multitouch.
    I tried to download the latest drivers for the touchpad (They weren't easy to find, so I may no have dled the right ones. If you have a link to the correct ones that would be awesome.)

    2) Wifi. Kinda. I'll be connected to a wireless network, but the icon in the systray says Im not connected. I'll also not be able to connect to, or create networks. I am of course connected....since Im posting this message.
    I tried several techniques. I disabled my ethernet port, and I uninstalled ASUS's preinstalled wifi software. Neither worked.

    If anyone could help with these, it would be awesome.

    Besides that, Im planning to format and do a clean install of my laptop. My model came without a reinstall disk, so Im about to burn a disk with that backup utility that tarts up whenever my computer starts up.
    I have however, heard that there is a better way of doing this for the G73jh. Anyhelp would be appreciated.

    Volais, don't be surprised if the backup you make doesn't work. you'd be better off buying the install discs from asus e-store

    I would burn your own driver disk and windows 7 disk and use those. I could never get AIrecovery to work correctly.
