    The factory profile for the display, color, text, icon size? It came with the factory that way, but i
    cleaned out the disk and replaced with other ssd drive and didn't back it up.



    Thanks

    what exactly do you need ?
    i know that with the 1200p screen the default DPI goes to 125%, that affects icon sizes as well.

    You might want the alienware login screen,wallpaper and user avatars, is that the case ?

    Thanks for the quick response :) Actually both. Thats correct, dpi was at 125% default with factory install, i set it like that with my new install but
    doesn't look right.(color, text, richness,depth, not the same , a little washed out) I should of saved the profile file.

    Yeah, the login screen, wallpaper and the rest too :p , forgot to back up those as well..

    At worst, ill just call a tech Friend at dell and get a copy of the original factory image on disk ;) but I'm in a hurry.

    Ok, so the wallpapers are here

    use this program to change the login screen

    And here you can download the avatars.

    125% DPI should look fine, are you on 1920x1200 ? Did you install video card drivers ?

    No problem with installation or drivers, everything runs great looks good too. Dell just created a default profile , not just DPI, but color ext..ext..
    Just a couple of things with color that weren't exactly like the factory profile, thats all. Thanks for the wallpapers and avatars, came in handy.

    I'm running the new cat 10.6 with stock vantage score of 14897 and everything runs smooth so far.

    I'm a tech over 20 years, but really don't want to advertise that here for personal reasons. Ill receive the factory image from dell next week for future resale purposes.

    Thanks again mfractal.. :)
