    Hi all - could someone post or link to what you believe to be the correct order to install the drivers for the UX31 (Zenbook) or standard Asus laptop?

    There are quite a few listed and I feel like I suffered the last time by not doing it properly. ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download UX31E

    I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

    I don't think it matters all that much unless there's a bug with the BIOS, but I usually start off with the chipset and then the graphics (VGA).

    I do it "randomly" (i.e. as I see fit) and have encountered zero problems.

    I'd say start with the chipset drivers, then IRST, video and the rest in any order.

    Thanks guys. Working great except I think ATK should be up there; Asus Live Update won't install without it.
