    I am looking for a way to have the option for desktop mode show up in Windows mobility center! I have installed all the latest drivers and software from Alienware including OSD and still does not show up! Is something turned off? Are there any suggestions to complete my quest?

    I think it is accessible only from the alienware command center under power profile management, if not, unistall MS acpi and reinstall Dell's chipset driver on it
