    Hello,

    I have an m17x R2 on which I was forced to install Windows 7 32bit for compatibility with an outdated work related program. I have 0 flexibility on this and MUST have 32bit installed.

    Unfortunately it seems that Command Center is not compatible with 32 bit. I have downloaded Command Center from here:

    Drivers and Downloads | Dell [United States]

    On instillation I get the error message: "Error: -1633 This installation package is not supported by this processor type."

    Command center worked just fine when 64bit was on this machine. Some quick googling has informed me that error message 1633 denotes a program that is 64 but not 32 bit compatible.

    My questions:
    -Is there a 32bit compatible command center that I can install? I've looked for hours and cannot find one.

    -Is there a way to adjust the lighting on the keyboard, speakers, etc without Command Center? As it is, I am stuck with some rainbow scheme that I find pretty annoying.

    Thanks for any input.
