    I have been trying to get iTunes to work with my AlienFX for a while, finally I found the proper way to do it and I copied over the .dll file to get the lights working. Great, right?

    Wrong, I'm having an issue where only the left side of the keyboard will light up to the music, and it's not even the entire area. The lights actually stop at the following keys: F10, 9, i, j, n. From those keys and to the right are not getting of the effects. My mouse, however, is lighting up like the left half of my keyboard.

    When I'm in the Visualizer options under "zones" only exists the option of "lights" where I have seen numerous other options in several videos I have looked at, attempting to debug this issue.

    Any thoughts?

    Does it happen as well with Windows Media Player?

    I fixed many issues with iTunes and my AW17 by re-installing AWCC after installing iTunes.

    Apparently, AWCC uses the iTunes scripting interface and the newer version of AWCC fixes some bugs in the scripts.
