    Hi guys.

    I'm running the Windows 7 RC with a clean install in a new partition. Everything is working fine, execpt ....

    the wireless switch in the front of the notebook. I install the wireless driver with the switch off. After I try install the bluetooth driver but when I turn the switch on to install it nothing happened.

    Its like the switch is dead. I can use the wireless but the wireless console is not working, so I cant select what I want to activate.

    I can only use the wireless when the switch is on but I can't use the bluetooth and the wireless console.

    What is the problem ?

    Tks for the help !!!

    Eduardo

    If the wireless is functioning normally through W7 access, but the button and console aren't, then it's an Asus software problem that will have to wait until they update the software in the Fall - but you could try the latest Vista32 for your model first.

    If the wireless isn't working at all, try updating the wireless driver to the latest Vista32-bit version, as most of the drivers from V32 should work in W732.

    It would also help if you mentioned which Asus notebook you're using and the setup (dual-boot, I'm guessing) so we can offer more targeted advice :)

    So the notebook is a G50VT-A1.

    I was using windows ista 64bit before and it was working perfectly.

    Now, with windows 7, the switch is turning on only the wireless. I can´t use bluetooth and the wireless console to choose what to activate.

    Tks again
