The problem turned out to be with Asus HotkeyService (application + drivers) not being compatible with windows 8, nor with the synaptics touchpad driver.įollowing the exact steps I list below should resolve the issue. Also, none of the hotkeys (Fn+F11, Fn+F12, etc.) were working. Im not sure if this solution is applicable to 32bit Windows 7 versions, though you should definitely still give it a try.Īfter installing windows 8 and logging in for the first time an error message window popped up:Ĭlosing the error window would cause it to open again. I imagine that the solution would also apply to other 1215x models (1215b for example) that came with Windows 7 64bit. I’m posting my solution here in the hopes that it will be useful to others doing an upgrade to windows 8. I was unable to find a solution on the web anywhere (one that worked anyways), so I had to figure things out myself. Doing so led to some Hotkey driver compatibility issues though (missing Asus ACPI driver error + no working hotkeys), which were a pain to resolve to say the least. The first thing I did was upgrade to Windows 8 since Microsoft is offering a promotional price of $15 until January 2013. I recently purchased an Asus 1215n equipped with Windows 7 64bit.
