Hi all I'm back again.
Well Ive got a few questions that need answering if thats ok.
1) I uninstalled instantfun after doing a fresh install of xp when I took it out of the box (it was floor stock). The button that started up instant fun now starts up media player which is fine, but everytime I startup or bring my laptop out of hibernate, media player keeps poping up. I've looked everywhere for settings to change this but haven't been sucessful. Has anybody had this problem and were you able to solve it?
2) The built in sd card reader isn't working. When I insert a card, it doesn't autorun or appear in explorer. Is there a driver I need for this?
Thanks again guys.

1) Your instantfun button is able to starts media player? wow,mines can't do anything except starting XP. I've an idea that may work ; shut down, wait an hour or so, then startup again. The instantfun light should be off, and the status "telling" the OS not to start instantfun related app.
2) Yes, you'll need a driver for the card reader to work. Leave your driver disc in the dvd tray, open up device manager (Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device manager). look for devices marked with a yellow icon, right click the device and select update drivers. If my memory is right, it is named USB base device. -
cheers mate I'll give the media player solution a go.
I tried to find the driver the way you suggested to, but the only driver it wants is a "modem device on high definition audio bus"?? -

Cheers, it's all fixed. Hopefully the wmp problem doesn't return, It's gone for now.
I've also noticed that when I run off the battery everything starts to slow down. Has this happened to anybody else? How can I tweak this?
Thanks again, your help is much appreciated. -
The evil wmp has decided to make a comeback. Any other suggestions?
Thanks -
please someone help me with this stupid windows media player problem. This is insane, I've tried everything I can think of.
P.S- dont worry about the power problem, It helps to read the manual hey -
um im pretty sure you just exit
-
never thought of that thanks alot champ
how do I stop it from starting up completely, I've checked msconfig and its not on the list? -
it shouldnt start again until you hit that button
-
it shouldn't but it does?
-

In any case, try this. When Media Center pops up, instead of closing the program down with the mouse, hold down the Instant Fun button, which should also close it. I think that will stop it from automatically starting again.
Let me know if this works. -
tried your solution drew, didn't work. pressing the button once won't even close the program, same as holding it down.
Is there any way to configure the asus software loaded on, or is there an update with a fix?
thanks for your time but, It's much appreciated. -
sorry topdog, I think I know what you're talking about, and I've actually gotten it to work, but I can't figure out how I did it. We'll keep trying...
-
well if you ever stumble across a solution please let me know.

1. Run: msconfig
2. Under the 'Startup' Tab, Uncheck 'DMEDIA'
This should put an end to your problem. Good Luck! -
Legend, thankyou so much.
