    Hey guys I just got my Alienware system today :D but when I open the command center it crashes :mad: . I have Windows 7 and the 6990m card installed. I literally just took it out of the box. Anyone know of a solution?

    Dotnet error? Mine did that as well. The time I sat down to re-install it had already fixed itself!

    It works for all of 3 seconds and then an error message comes up and it shuts down. Kind of a bummer

    Try re-installing off of the Alienware recource disk. Let us know how you get on. :)

    Would probably be better to download the latest version from the dell driver page. Just makes sure u have the latest version of command center :)

    ^^Agreed. However, the Command Center version on Dell Support board is A00 dated January, 2011, so it's not new. Nevertheless, I downloaded and used that version when doing a clean install to my SSD, and it has worked flawlessly since then.
