G74 strange issues?

mrfox123

I recently got a Asus G74 but it seems to have some issues allready 😕

First for me is that the only fn keys that work for me is the fn+f1 for sleepmode and fn+f5-6 for the screen while everything else is innactive. So im unable to turn on the keyboard lighting or change the sound while gaming.

The 2nd issue i got seems to be that my windows explorer.exe crashes when i try to enter my computer. this seems to happen randomly and once it gave me the message thatmy computer dont have enough memory to run explorer.exe:(

Any one here knows how to fix these issues?

Ok thanks. But as i mentioned earlier the explorer.exe problem seems to be fixed.

And with the keyboard thing i'll think i just ned reinstall its driver.

Only problem then... i dont know the driver name, or atleas i cant seem to find the driver on the asus webpage. 😕

Just setting up a new Asus G74 and had the same issue where windows explorer kept crashing, restarting, crashing. Tried all the "windows" fixes and then started looking for Asus specific fixes. The one that worked for me (found elsewhere, but remembered this thread) was uninstalling "asus web storage" (which I was never going to use anyway). All working fine now.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

go to the asus website, in the support section they have a area where you can tell them what model laptop you have. select win7 64-bit, blah blah blah.

they'll have a list of drivers you can download. alternatively you can grab the driver disc that came with your laptop.

you're missing the ATK drivers (i think there's a few of them)

It was the same problems with explorer.exe+web storage after i reinstall OS from recovery disks.
This problems means that you should disable or add smth to context menu. In this case - webstorage-
to disable i used ShellExView.exe, problems gone. Also i reinstalled webstorage-the same result.
ShellExView.exe just to search app with trouble: on/off item and see is it ok now.
