    For those who have Windows 7 upgraded from Vista, did you have any problems with stuff not working? Do OLED, touchpad, etc... still work? I need to know before I purchase it. Thanks

    Since this seems like a relevant topic to post, I'm running Vista x64 on my G50VT-X2 and looking to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. The issue I'm running into is this:

    Any idea how I might get the drivers described? I tried automatically updating, to no avail.

    That appears to be the only major issue pre-upgrade.

    By the way, I am going to be using the RETAIL UPGRADE, not the one provided by ASUS.

    Do you have RAID enabled out of curiosity? I don't and Win7 installed fine.

    For those who installed it, did you install W7 retail version or the free upgrade from ASUS?
