    Is there a certain sequence you should install the Vista drivers on the Asus laptop. I have an S6f and the drivers are all available on the global website, but I'm not sure in what order I should install them, or does it matter. Thanks.

    Erm...there seems to be no sequence of order to install....

    But install the VGA driver first, 'cuz you'lll strain your eyes while installing the other drivers.

    Errr? :confused:

    Anyway, there isn't exactly a certain order you need to follow. Just make sure to update your bios to the latest version, as well. On my A8Js, I noticed that a few programs weren't working at all (Splendid and a few other utilities) and with the newest bios, they all started to magically work!

    Well i normally start with system drivers first like chipset drivers, the Asus hardware drivers Hcontol, ATK etc etc then move on to the rest.

    thats just me. cos I've always thought that the others drivers may need the chipset ones etc to be installed first.

    I agree to the above (Insane).

    Also see my guide for WinXp install (Guides forum), check drivers order, it should be roughly the same.
