    i don't know of a guide. i'd just reinstall from the driver cd. I don't think you'll burn out your m17x from trying to install a software program so i think you're safe :D

    I'm not at home right now, but if you're not sure on how to proceed, i can take a look at the cd when i get home from work tonight

    Speaking of AlienFX how do I change the color of the M17x in the description picture? not the actual lights, the color of the actual laptop. I have a black laptop but I'm displaying a red laptop, and I've noticed on videos that some people have Silver showing, so I'm wondering how do you get Black?

    I am now wondering the same thing. Seems that it isn't changeable. Probably the one in the video was from older versions of Command Center
