    Hi.

    I just got my W3J today

    the first thing I did was reformat the system with my Win XP Pro... but, when I went to ASUS' site and downloaded the Power4 gear thing and installed it to my W3J this is what happened.


    When I try to start the program, it says "Current system do not support this utilit. Porgram stop !" (PS: yes ASUS had a typo and spelt it PORGRAM instead of PROGRAM... thus it's not my typo)


    So, My question is, if any of you reformatted your W3J how did you get back those functions ASUS installed for you? (mine came with chinese XP so I had to reformat)

    ie, now the side bottons like the bluetooth button or wireless lan button won't work... how do you get them to work again?


    Thanks you for any help you can provide


    PS: The quality on this thing is amazing

    I just used the Asus Recovery CD that reloads windows, it asks for the Driver CD and it reinstalls all of the Asus utilities.

    I was going to download all of the Apps from the Asus web site, but it was just much easier (quicker) to use the CD.

    Yes, try using the Driver & Utility CD that came with it and see if it works.
