Windows 8 Incompatible with ASUS UX21E-KX004V Ultrabook

Hello Microsoft!

I recently updated my ASUS 11 "UX21E-KX004V Ultrabook to Windows 8, thanks to the discount offer available during the period that I bought the machine.

HOWEVER

Windows 8 seems to be incompatible with this computer. He installed, started a couple of times without problem, but in the last days here is the problems I had:

1. When you try to open a video file in windows Explorer, the computer turns off immediately. No blue screen, nothing. This has happened every time.
2. yesterday, it wouldn't even get into windows at all. Arriving at my login screen, the computer shuts off immediately. Tried to run at least 5 times, same thing.
3. today, this allows me to access the login screen and login to windows 8, but my WiFi does not work. The button on my keyboard shows that the wireless card is active, but windows refuses to believe. I can't get windows 8 to activate the WiFi at all.

I expect this type of problem from a beta version, still being tested, but not a copy of the publication. Please note that I had finished all updates to windows. There is no update of the driver available for any of my devices.

I reinstalled windows 7 on my machine and am not eager to see this garbage again for at least 6 months to you guys give time to fix it.

Thank you all for your help and advice.

I must admit that I got tired of closing Win 8 and ongoing fan running problems.  I did the F9 key at startup thing which enabled me to reinstalled Win 7, including all the drivers.

It did the trick and everything works smoothly in the butter.  I like Win8 but, just my opinion, I think that it is more appropriate for devices of the touchscreen cursor driven by applications.

  • Windows 7 incompatible with Adobe 5

    I have a Mustek A3 USB 1200 Pro scanner and I need to install Adobe 5 but I get an error message saying 5 Adobe is not compatible with my Windows 7.

    Thank you, Jeff, I appreciate all the help I can get.  I have the following programs listed on the page/window "uninstall - install":

    Adobe Flash Player 11 X active installed 09/10/12

    Adobe Reader X (10.1.14) installed on 17/08/12

    Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin installed 11/13/09

    August 2012 facilities and/or November 2009 "in competition" with the October 2012 install Adobe?

    I have removed/uninstalled Adobe 5 software, I had installed FROM the installation CD scanner Mustek. What I can not (so) do is 'show' the

    User, from this same CD Manual, because it insists have Adobe 5 software to do. I guess I can live with that and will try to

    have the Mustek people give me another way to pull out of the operating instructions for my (brand new, out of the box) Scanner.

    The model I bought (probably) isn't their most recent model scanner, but very precisely, it indicates that it is compatible with

    Windows XP / Vista / 7.

    My MAIN 'destination' was to figure HOW to use myself and the parsing operation, the TWAIN software. I got a glimpse of it

    during the other process installation, but when I tried to scan an article... TWAIN was not the case in "target".

  • Z3100: z3100/3200 incompatible with windows 10

    It seems that z3100 and z3200 are incompatible with Windows 10 - they will work, but the driver cannot report problems and the HP utility cannot see the printer.

    If someone managed to find a workaround?

    Roy

    Hello

    At present the HP utility does not work with Win 10 when using a USB connection. If this is your case, try to connect the printer to the network.

    In addition, make sure that the port on the driver is set to the IP address of the printer.

I tried redownloading drivers, but I get an error message that this keyboard is incompatible with Windows 7 and it wont let me start the CD.  I looked on the MS site for a fix, which is there, and I downloaded it, but it did not work.  I am always told the keypad and the software are incompatible.  I went through this process 3 times and now I'm frustrated that I spent $80.00 on a MS product that says that the site of MS is compatible with Windows 7, but it doesn't help with this computer.

  • Windows could not transfer files. An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.

    Microsoft. It's so hard to get where you want to go on the site.

    I wish they still had the cat where you enter just a few things, and for free, it instantly opens a window of instant messaging to chat with microsoft.

    Well, I have a dongle bt USB and when I right click and click send a file, it gives an error

    Windows could not transfer files. An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.

    With windows xp, I plug it and he can move 2 drivers, "microsoft bluetooth enumerator" and "generic bluetooth radio".

    in windows 7, it installs the same 2 drivers

    I pair the device from the phone and it didn't work. while I was looking for the computer and it does not even, but file transfer

    It works totally fine XP and with the same drivers! just different os versions.

    I went to Device Manager, click on set to update driver and he know that later is installed

    BTW, it's a generic radio bt, and it was $10 do9ller micro dongle.

    However, there is no brand name.

    but it works under windows xp? but not 7?

    Windows xp and windows 7 are duel boot, so it's the same material, b/c windows xp and windows 7 is on the same hardware

    Microsoft sucks... I mean except xp. He is old, but it's the best version of windows there, Runnin' on minimum 16 MB of ram and 400 mhz cpu... I luv xp, no more errors

    Hello

    Check if the same device works fine on another computer with Windows 7 installed. Also, try to send files from the phone to the PC and check what is happening.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    You can try the steps below and check if that helps get the Bluetooth dongle to work.

    (a) click Start and then click Run.

    (b) type regedit and then click OK.

    (c) locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {e0cbf06c-cd8b-4647-bb8a-263b43f0f974}

    (d) right click on the folder, click on delete.

    (e) exit and restart

    Now, try to find your device and send the file. It should work.

    Hope this information is useful.

    With the release of Patch 5.0 and Pandaria mists, the repair tool was wrapped in the game. The game will now be stream repair automatically when it detects corrupted data files.

    There's always ways for the repair feature must be blocked to fail. In these cases, you will still encounter an error, but there are some things that you can do to solve the problem.

    Please note that if you have or find an old copy of the repair tool, it will not work with the current game. The old repair tool cannot identify the current version of the game and only tell you to reinstall. This isn't always the best answer, so I would recommend first using the link above.
