    Hi

    Like many others I installed Windows 7 RC on my Asus and it works a charm. However some of the hardware does not seem to work and I can't find the relevant drivers (or I have not been looking in the right places).

    So far I'm having problems with the webcam (vicrom 0321 I think), the sound card (sound max) and bluetooth (toshiba).

    Has anyone else had any luck with getting drivers for the above to use with Windows 7.

    Thanks!

    If this is still relevant: Have you tried using Vista drivers, if there are any? Many times Vista drivers will work in Windows 7.

    Thanks. Sorry, didn't come back to the board. That is exactly what I did and everything working fine.

    Some of the drivers were on the Asus website, and others I had to hunt around for. The Toshiba bluetooth driver was a pain to find though.

    Yeah, the BT drivers are particular hard to find, even for my Dell Precision notebook. As a matter of fact, I still can't find them yet. :eek:
