    Does anyone else have problems installing the beta vesion of IE 9? Everytime I try to install it, it installs but will not run. Of course it's the 64 bit version, but I have the same problem with the 32 bit side as well. Everything else works fine except IE 9.

    Anyone have any ideas as to why?

    I have the same problem, also with my M11X. I think it's because of the Star dock Mycolors Alienware Theme, I have been too lazy to uninstall it to test my theory out. Let me know if that's the problem, IE9 works great on my non Alienware systems, that's why I think its the Custom Alienware Theme.

    I haven't tried it on my alienware.
    After putting it on another machine and having it give me errors, or rendering pages funny, I've ended up switching to chrome till they get it figured out.

    So count yourself lucky your still on IE8 or switch to chrome. They seem to be pretty much the same except chrome works more (not all) of the time.
