    Didnt see a thread about it here is my problem. I have a Alienware m17x R3 and i reformatted it and installed drivers and such from the disc and newer ones from the website or here. My problem is Command Center doesnt really work i cannt use the Alienware FX with the driver from the disc. Any solution to this?

    The thing with CC is to ALWAYS install the same version as the previous one or newer, NEVER older as this flashes the AlienFX controller. Installing a older version can brick this controller.

    So never use the resource DVD(only if no choice except CC) and always install from Dells support site and/or parts manufacturer site(depends on the part).
