    Alright I am at my wits end with this keyboard and it's lights.
    I removed my fresh Windows 7 install, formatted the hard drive and did a fresh install of Windows Vista Professional,
    did all my Windows updates then proceeded to install the drivers from my Area 51 m17X Vista support CD and all went well except,
    when I did the command center install the program loaded correctly but when I went to use it the program doesn't show my keyboard lights and
    it shows that I have lights running down the sides of my screen and I don't have any lights running down my screen.

    If you go to the Command Center in the C: drive it gives you an option to test my keyboard lights. Well all the colors worked and it passes with flying colors
    but I still have no lights. When I try and install a newer version of Command Center I get and error message that reads.
    error:- 1633 processor type not supported. What the hell does that mean?
    I have also tried a program called Auroralights FX and it does not work.


    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. How do I get my keyboard lights to work. Someone has to know the answer I can't be the only one who has had this problem.

    You all will have my undying loyalty for the help.

    Thanks again for reading my diatribe....
