G1S-B2: PCI Memory controller yellow question mark

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 04:24:17 +0000

The update worked well except when I got to the video card installation the computer kept getting an error, saying it could not copy file/ find file something like this? It asked me if I wanted to proceed without this file, I canceled the first time and tried to reinstall but got the same errors. Then I tried to proceed without the files it could not install and another error came up and so on. I then read on this site somewhere to go into the device manager the and update the video drivers this way. So I did and only received one error but continued anyway. It worked but seems I cant adjust the size and I am sure the icons are as small as they can be. There could be other problems with it under heavy video demand but I do not have a game to put it to the test. Now, I have a question mark in device manager beside PCI Memory Controller. Any help I would appreciate. Thanks in advance!

Updated Ricoh SD Reader Driver for SDHC Cards

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:36:51 +0000

Please add this to the Updated drivers section.

I noticed that the card reader would not read 8Gb micro SDHC cards (with adapter) with the ASUS Ricoh Drivers…

An updated driver can be found here: http://www.fmworld.net/download/E1007029/E1007029.exe
Or for the sketchy types that don't trust .exe's — the drivers ONLY can be found here: http://www.antifart.com/stuff/Ricoh%20R5C8xx%20Drivers%20ONLY.zip

Ok, I just found out that the Santa Rosa technology does not support 800MHz memory (even though the chipset supports 800MHz fsb)…
I bought 667MHz HyperX low-latency ram by Kingston now, hopefully it runs correctly (on the Kingston website is only written that the ordinary value-ram modules are supported by the G1S notebook)…

Hey Guys!

I bought a 4GB Kit PC2-6400 800MHz Memory by OCZ and installed it in my G1S (T7700). It's currently running with 667MHz and I do not know how to increase it to 800MHz. I could not change it in the BIOS (Version 300) where it should usually be possible to do so…
Does anybody of you have an idea or knows at least where to find it out?

Cheers

Shortcut buttons? How to get them back?

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:13:02 +0000

How do I get the "CPU running mode" , "Enable Disable touchpad" buttons to work again?
What drivers do I have to install to achieve this result?

Thank you

Perhaps it's last days of summer now and all the experienced guys with their G1S laptops are already on their vacation :)

USB driver problem

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:31:34 +0000

I've read this topic and can say that probably I have another problem with USB.
I have 2 yellow signs in other devices category:
1 for USB device
1 for Basic system device.
Are there any drivers to re-install ? I didn't find it in the pack I useds.

And another question: do you know what to do if the image in my web-cam is rotated on 180 degrees? )
I tried to use options but it won't any success with it .

EDIT: Where are you, ASUS G1S experts ?

Display Driver

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:30:33 +0000

Hey guys!

I need to format my hdd and reinstall everything and I would like to use a display driver which is as new as possible… But it has to be stable - I had some problems with unstable drivers and do not want my laptop to crash again regularly.
Does anyone have good experiences with an up-to-date driver or knows one which is definitely running properly?

Cheers!

Edit: I want to use 32bit XP… Cheers!

Good job :)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:16:47 +0000

very nice guide, and drivers are all currently working great.
I personally have the G1S-A1
But i have Installed XP on it and on other g1s's including b1 and b2 and a2's.
Good guide. Could've have done it without ur help :)

Re: Wi-Fi driver problem

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:43:28 +0000

I tried different router, and this problem still seems to occur. Fortunately, my new router is not as nasty as the old one, and do not restart itself.

I still have no idea why this bug appears.

hotfixes error

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 18:26:16 +0000

hi. very nice guide. very easy to follow. just one problem I'm running windows xp sp3 and there were errors when I tried to install the hotfixes.
it said that "setup has detected that the service pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying". Can i get a little help here. tnx.. im kinda noob at this. Maybe there are updated hotfixes for sp3? tnx

Sorry for the post, I just recently read that all the hotfixes here are already included in windows xp sp3. Hope this helps. tnx again… keep up the good work

X64 Compatibility Drivers.

Sat, 31 May 2008 08:29:17 +0000

Do all the drivers mentioned above compatible with XP x64?

Thanx.

Re:

Tue, 20 May 2008 18:35:36 +0000

the drivers were based off the hardware in the laptops. both laptops had the same piece of equipment so the same driver would naturally work.

Hello, thank you for this great tutorial.

Can you please explain to me how did you find the correct drivers?

[Drivers/ACPI]
Asus ATK0100 ACPI Utility Driver 1043.2.15.62
Installation: Unzip ATK0100_XP_061027.zip and run 2KSETUP.EXE [reboot]

link: http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/A6J/ATK0100_XP_061027.zip

Why did you decide to use the driver from the A6J?? I'm trying to do install XP on an Asus M51Sn and to make a similar tutorial, but I don't understand how did you select these very specific drivers. I already have graphic card (laptopvideo2go.com), Audio (Realtek), Wireless (Intel), Chipset (Intel), and the touchpad.

From this point on, I really can't figure out how to choose the correct drivers. I've found tutorials like this one for M51Sn, but they don't explain either how they find the drivers.
