Does anyone else get the following message when trying to instant the Instant On. After I uninstall the old driver I get this message
Your Computer doesn't have the instant on support built in. The installation procedure is interrupted.
Thanks
Solution that worked for me:
I upgraded the G75 BIOS to version 222, and then could proceed to the installation of the Asus “Instant On” without the dreaded message “Your Computer doesn't have the instant on support built in. The installation procedure is interrupted.”
Like you, I installed Windows 8 over Windows 7 (clean install) and experienced that the Asus “Instant On” didn't work anymore (I couldn't install it and the Microsoft Windows 8 sleep mode is a joke).
The Windows 8 sleep mode doesn't work for me either, as it drains the battery in only a few hours. This is a real shame for Microsoft.
Microsoft should finally fix this sleep mode misbehavior, it should work out of the box. Apple has this feature since years on their devices, but it looks like Microsoft still lags way behind Apple, however we are in 2012. Wake up, Microsoft!
I first had to install the “Windows BIOS Flash Utility WinFlash_Win8_64_Z2411.zip”, which creates a WinFlash tile on the Windows 8 start screen.
I then launched this WinFlash program to install the file contained into “G75VWAS222.zip”. This took a few minutes to complete.
My previous BIOS version was 207.
After the BIOS update, the Windows 8 boot time was even faster than before, which was already very fast. Now the G75 boots in around 10 seconds (time between “button press” and “login screen”).
The installation of the Asus “Instant On” plugin also worked. I now have to experience a bit with it, to check whether I get 25+ days of sleep time without emptying the battery, like I used to have with my Windows 7.
In any case I recommend you upgrade your BIOS if you have version 207 (or less than version 222).
