    Is this a theme you downloaded or one which you designed on your current system? If its one you downloaded, unless its specific to the system model you are using, don't expect it to function correctly or even load at all. An example would be: theme created on M17xR1 or 17xR2 and trying to use it on a 17xR3/R4. :(

    Different models have different zone labels in the theme coding.

    If its a theme you created on your system using the same version of AWCC, go back in and check your coding. Could be a simple typo or the theme file may have become corrupt.

    the Command center on the Dell website wasn't working. I used the one from the resource CD and that took care of the issue
