    After I installed Win7x64, I dloaded Express Gate (From Asus under G51vx Vista x64) and installed it. When I get into EG, it says wireless is disabled. Although it's turned on. When I move the switch on/off there's even a picture of wireless on/off. But in the settings, its disabled. I can't get it to work. Does anybody know what I need to do?

    Don't know if this will help but I'm on Vista x64 and when running windows normally, sometimes when my wireless is turned on, the icon in the taskbar will say it's turned off. Turning the switch on and off does nothing. So I have to double click on the tasbar icon till the wireless picture thing pops up on the screen. Then I just click on the left picture with the tick. After this, wireless works normally and turns on and off normally.

    Oh it works fine in Windows7. Just Exspress Gate it says "Disabled". No matter how many times I turn it off/on with the switch or using the keyboard shortcut. LAN works. Just not wireless.

    I actually have that same issue with an Asus motherboard, Wireless doesn't seem to work well under Express Gate
