    Hello,

    I've been having some issues with AlienRespawn and Fx ever since an upgrade for them came out, I believe in January. These things have been happening, since I got the upgrade.

    This comes up every time I turn on my PC.

    If I go to check for solutions, nothing happens.

    And I've noticed that every time I close my iTunes, all the lights on the AlienWare turn off for about 3 seconds and come back on.

    Has this occurred on anyone else? Solutions?

    Thank you,

    AlienwareDomain

    The iTunes thing is normal (on mine), it can tie into the AlienFX for some funky light shows! You can turn it off from the right-click menu on the taskbar icon (3rd party...) :D

    The iTunes thing is resolved. Thank you for your help.

    @J.Dre,

    Are you suggesting a reboot of my OS? Is that why you're suggesting a back-up being made of my system?

    Okay, I get the gist of the situation and the solution being either to re-install or leave it be, either way, I get the feeling that it will not affect my PC in any malevolent way.

    Last thing, I hope you guys can help me on. ActiveX now pops up with a window saying that it too is down, claiming that either my security has blocked or is blocked from a publisher, etc. What is this now and how can this be fixed?

    Thank you all again for your help.
