    I seem to have lost all of my drivers somehow after turning off my laptop this morning. I went to work and when I got home I turned on the laptop and noticed my usb mouse wasn't working and so I went to check the device manager and found out my sound, wireless network, and usb drivers were all corrupt because they all had yellow triangles next to them, has anyone experienced this? And if you have how did you fix it? I was going to reformat but I want to make sure I have no other option before I do so.

    wow, I have not seen this my self.

    You could first try to uninstall 1 product at a time and reinstall.
    Or go to Asus and get there drivers....

    I hate to say it, it could be a another issues where reformatting might be the best fix if you have all the right tools for this...

    Could try a previous restore point too.

    This is the second post I've seen on this issue in as many weeks...

    very strange. But yea, Like mark said, try a system restore. If that doesn't work, I think you can just run the disk and that may work but it may be safer to just uninstall first then reinstall.

    If you don't have the disk, I think there was a thread somewhere with all the files I think...
