I recently got an asus U43Jc laptop. I like it, but after swapping the stock hdd out for a ssd and doing a clean install of win7 pro-64 I seem to have no way of getting ahold of stock-included software and drivers; from functional sw, optional apps, to necessary drivers.
The asus download page for my model has a barebones listing of sw for download- which has left me with the above mentioned gaps. I swapped the hdd back in, to see if the preinstall, or recovery partition might be a useful source or even if I could fresh install to my ssd from the factory recovery image. No such luck.
I know asus has a tendency to lag behind in updating their dl pages outside tw- I've always used the ftp to get the latest sw for my asus motherboard- but I can't seem to do the same thing to get sw for this laptop.
I'd like to have the asus utilities- as gimmicky as some may view them- at least to try in my setup/config. Most of all- I'd like the touchpad 64-bit driver to alter the sensitivity and keep my palm from changing the cursur position while typing. I guess having expressgate would also be cool- as a subsystem for quick access to typical stuff w/o needing security or making my data available.
any other forum members w/ an asus notebook- u-series, bamboo line, or other have a similiar experience [maybe with some solutions]?
