Issues after a reformat

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So I recently reformatted my Asus M6Ne (Pentium-M 1.5 ghz, 1 gig ram, etc) and to my chagrin I'm having more problems than before. I'm used the same windows xp pro cd that I previously had installed.

First off, it won't let me install the ATK0100 utility (which is used for things like the Fn key functions etc). Everytime I run the install program it simply says install failed right at the beginning.

Next, my speedstep doesn't seem to be working... nor does Windows detect when I'm running from battery power. I have speedswitchxp installed and it won't throttle down from 1.5 ghz after starting the computer up from AC power. If I start the computer up from battery power, it simply stays at 600 mhz, and speedswitch even reports the max speed of the CPU as 600 mhz. And when running from battery, speedswitch also reports me as being on AC still regardless of how I start up the system (i.e. plugged in or not).

Does anyone have any ideas? Should I try to reformat again? Please help!

Try a BIOS update. Check what's enabled/disabled in the BIOS as well.

is that atk0100 utility from a drivers cd or downloaded? sometimes, the install file is slightly corrupted and will fail. i had that happen with a couple of my drivers when i was reinstalling stuff. my problem might have been due to copying it from an ntfs partition to fat32 then back to ntfs, then installing (it's hard to download drivers when you need the driver for your network card, eh? and the only thing i had conveniently accessible was a fat32 partitioned external (due to needing to back up stuff with knoppix, etc)).
