    Hi

    After installing the Express Gate software as provided by the ASUS, however when starting the PC, the screen displays a message saying that the software is not yet installed & supplies an error code (8C000002).

    I previsouly had my SATA harddrives setup as in the BIOS using the IDE setting, but have changed it to AHCI (where I then reinstalled all system software).

    While the drives were setup as IDE drives in the BIOS, I was able to make use of the Express Gate software, but since switching to AHCI & reinstalling the software, it no longer seems to be available.

    Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?

    Thanks

    Hi

    This is for the benefit of anyone else who has an ASUS mobo & is trying to get the Express Gate software to work. According to the ASUS helpdesk, the Express Gate software will only work if your HDDs are setup using the IDE setting & only for SATA drives. This therefore explains why I cannot get the software to work (I'm using the AHCI setting).

    Case Closed.

    Ya, I was looking into the AHCI option but it seems that's only worth it in enterprise situations from what I've read. I find the Express Gate useless for me as my rig is on 24/7. Ten seconds is better than the 40 secs that Vista takes to boot or the 90 secs that XP takes for me. Only thing that I really don't like about it is it uses generic or somesuch drivers which I can't change to fit my widescreen, overflows on both sides.
