Ok guys I fixed my bad Windows install and I have been hunting down my drivers.

I have tried several different versions of Command Center. I can get the FX lighting to work but I can't get fusion to work.
It just hangs when I click on it. When I try to install different versions I keep getting this error message'
Error:-1633 This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor.

I get this error with four different versions of command Center. I have also tried the driver from the M15X.
Is there any way to get the keyboard lights to work without CC?
Or does anyone know of a way to get past this error message?

Again thanks for all the responses it's appreciated.

The message you're getting says that you're trying to install the 32-bit package on a 64-bit version of Windows, or a 64-bit package on 32-bit Windows.

When you're in the Dell support site, make sure that you've chosen the correct version of the OS. I believe that the M17x-R2 (i5/i7) models all ship with Windows 7 64-bit. I'm not sure about the R1 (Core 2 Duo/Quad) models, but chances are they're a 64-bit OS as well.
