    After reinstalling the nVidia driver and some programs, my laptop has become really slow, and aero can no longer activate. What can I do to restore the laptop back to initial performance?

    You could try rolling back the display adapter driver to go back to the previous driver.

    Start > right-click "Computer" > Manage > Device manager > Display Adapters > double-click the display adapter > "Driver" tab > Roll Back driver

    Edit: Or you could do a system restore to a previous point, before they were installed, but I'd try rolling back the driver first. :)

    xfax: did you somehow install one of the reference Nvidia drivers? The UL30vt can't use those without a lot of mods. You should use the video driver on the Asus website for the UL30vt only.
