I don't remember what virus software came with the netbook but maybe the printer would be better if you used firefox instead of explorer for the Internet?

My ASUS Eee PC is 6 years old and is still hanging in there. I only use it for writing books. I haven't done anything to it other than put in a new battery (pain in the backside) so it is running the original VISTA operating system and Windows Office '07. ASUS doesn't make these computers anymore - nor do they have batteries for them. I had to order a battery from Taiwan and install myself using a video I found on YouTube. Since its memory is so small, I wouldn't think Windows 8 would fit on it. My recommendation, leave it well enough alone as ASUS won't be able to help if you ruin it. I love this little computer and will cry when it no longer works. There is nothing else its size on the market today. My ASUS Eee PC is 6 years old and is still hanging in there.

Ivan the Terrible says: I wonder if upgrading RAM to 2GB will increase speed of the operation? How difficult to open up and replace 1GB part with 2GB? It does not have an optic drive. Does any CD/DVD external drive for laptops will work with 1002HA? I would like to install Microsoft Office and also have with me some data while I travel on CD/DVD. What it makes eeebuntu better than XP home? I apologize for some naive questions. Greatly appreciate if somebody replies with comments.

I purchased mine around the same time, and had no problems. It's difficult to advise you here though (because of so little info about your problem and no back and forth). I suggest checking Asus' support site. While it's hard to navigate, it does have lots of info, including (I believe) teardown docs for replacing the hard drive and memory.

To me, the biggest problem with bloatware is the installation of McAfee - - which I find very obtrusive, slow and real pain in the you know what. I had to go Dell support (which was fantastic) to completely remove McAfee and switch over to Windows Defender (which has always worked for me) that is integral to 8.1 windows. Outside of that - - not too bad for bloatware. Easily removable.

Another side note to mention... Nearly any computer you get pre-built from a manufacturer will come with "bloatware." It should be expected.

FWIW, at a Best Buy in another city, their ASUS notebooks had two finger scrolling working properly and the icons showing in the tray area. Must be something in the setup wrong at the store near me. I finally opted for the Gateway EC5801u which is also a thin, light, longlife model like these ASUS machines. It uses a Synaptic touchpad with a spiral scrolling gesture that I've quickly come to like. Swirl your finger round and round in a circle and it scrolls like controlling an ipod.

I purchased the EeePC withthe 4 GBhD with Windows XP installed. I found that the combination of the automatic Windows updates and Antivirus updates rapidly filled the 4GB HD and now the system doesn't operate well despite the fact that i have not installed any program on the HD.No one seems to have an answer at ASUS except turn off the updates. I am not happy with the situation, faced with a hard drive upgrade.Wayne

I just bought the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PEB-RRE (the brownish red one) and decided to upgrade the ram to 2GB. Order the Crucial CT25664AC800 based on recommendations by other ASUS owners on Amazon. It works!!! The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. I actually spend most of the time figuring how to open the cover. The BIOS setting even auto-detect. I am very happy with both products.

so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

I had the 8.9" Aspire One. Before I was going to return it, I wanted to use the Restore program to restore Windows and get rid of the Ubuntu partition I put on it. I ran the program and it said it was going to reboot. At reboot, it just seemed to go back into GRUB. I chose the Windows partition, of course, but nothing happened. So, it seemed that the Acer Recover program depended on nothing else touching the MBR. I think I could have gotten around it if the Recovery program would let me boot to a CD or USB drive, but I don't remember seeing that option anywhere. Any ideas in case I want to buy another Aspire One? Thanks in advance. I had the 8.9" Aspire One.

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

I have attempted to register the Asus P501J-X1 laptop on the Asus website and received the same message. Also mailed in the ADW card and had it returned by the post office. Called Asus customer service 4 times and was told to fax my documents. I did this and received no response. I then tried registering online again and received the same default message. Finally found an e-mail address and sent a note with an attached PDF containing my documents. Received an incredible response advising me that there was no fax at that location and that I should call customer service. It appears that the Asus ADW is a fraud and that Asus is deliberately scamming customers into thinking that it is standing behind it's products. What a disgrace!

Tough to say without knowing the conditions of your PC setup. Most seem to hit a high point in popularity and then eventually fade, so picking a current popular one like Avast or another like Eset Nod that is recommended by Tech Guy, either should serve well.

.if putting in 2GB module in eee pc 1000 you need to restart computer after installing the RAM and keep pressing F2. then press F10 to accept the settings in the BIOS. now your eee pc will recognize the 2 GB module yeah,.. plug and play... right
