    Hi, I just ran the Live Update on my G2 and it seemed to flash my BIOS. Well, now i cant access the internet and i cant use my mouse...

    I'm sure its something stupid that I'm missing, but I just don't know what to do.

    Thanks for any help.

    Check to see that LAN and mouse drivers are properly installed.

    If they are, flash BIOS by yourself with a version downloaded from the website, or even flash the version you had before? See if that solves the problem. (although if it had been flashed wrongly you most likely couldn't use your computer)

    Just like above stated, don't use Asus Live Update, because it is known for crashing and bogging down systems.

    If you have the need to update drivers, then go to the Asus website, other than that, you don't need to update drivers unless they are broken/not working properly.
