More bloatware to come pre-loaded on Asus netbooks.

Asus App Store (updated in main post) and MeeGo (currently in the works - will update in main post when it becomes official).

Try run the installer again as the administrator. You can also try installing it in safe mode.

Whenever I switch between power4gear profiles my desktop icons reappear (I always have them hidden). Anyone know how to prevent this program from bringing them back up?? I am having to use the regular power saver/balanced/high performance profiles for now.

I had the same issues along with my desktop background being changed on restart. I uninstalled Power 4 Gear Hybrid and am now just using the Windows power plans. Problem solved (for me). I did loose the functionality of the Twin Turbo button. Not a big deal as it does not seem to actually boost performance.

David, I have a small question. I was tuning out the services that load during startup, and came across Cyberlink Media Library (CLMLSVC.exe) and PML Driver HPZ12 in the processes.

The thing is, I cant find CLMLsvc.exe anywhere in Services.msc or in msconfig. So how can I disable this at start up? Also, should I disable PML driver?
