    Asus ExpressGate: Is It Obligatory?


    I built my new computer about 2 weeks ago, and when I was installing the drivers and such with the Asus disk, it installed Asus ExpressGate. It's basically a light OS that you can use as soon as you boot. The thing is, I have Windows 7, and I don't want ExpressGate hogging 10 seconds of boot time before it goes away. Is it safe/recommended to uninstall? Thanks in advance. :)

    You will find the option to disable Express Gate in the BIOS. Easy beans.

    I would just disable though you can uninstall.

    That way you can go back into bios and re enable if you need to.

    I needed the internet access once when Windows wouldn't boot.
    Basic browser services that way but you can get to Sevenforums etc. if needed.

    How do you uninstall it? I checked in the Control Panel but it doesn't seem to be there.

    Start menu> All Programs> Express Gate. Then click "Installer". Follow prompts.

    I would just disable it but suit yourself.

    Also Control Panel> Programs and Features> Express Gate. Select Uninstall.

    I was just curious, I have lots of room for ExpressGate. I'll just disable it :)

    Excellent idea.

    You never know when you will need to get on line if Windows won't boot.

    How else would you yell for help on the forum?
