No right click Computer tab won't open Wireless doesn't work Can't download pictures System restore doesn't work I can connect to the internet with wire. I bought a computer to computer connection and that doesn't work. I can't find my system disc. I would greatly appreciate any ideas. I don't have the money to have it fixed. Maybe I could at least play COD 5 again if it was fixed. Thank you very much, Bushape [email protected] Awards

Contact ASUS. Their support (at least in Canada) is excellent. Re-installation of the OS will likely fix what ails it, if you can get hold of an install disk. What I'd suggest doing first, if you have access to another PC with a disk burner, is download Ultimate Boot CD http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/. Its a utility disk chock-full of legal and free software for diagnosing the crap out of your system. Hiren's Boot CD http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd is similar and excellent. Use either/both to eliminate (or diagnose) hardware or viruses/malware as the issue. Good luck!!! Awards

Hairline crack or something like that. Awards

They dont come with a disk its hidden on your hard drive. Also I just bought my ASUS laptop last fall and it started taking a crap. They gave me a RMA number and sent a Fed Ex label to send it in. Said I should have my new one in a week. Whew only 2 weeks left on the warranty!

You can then burn it to a cd or download the windows 7 usb tool and put it on a thumb drive. Then you can reinstall Awards
