    I have an Alienware m17x R1 running Windows 7 (64-bit) running A03 Bios and the Nvidia beta drivers. Today, when I booted up the face recognition just kept locking me out... I couldnt even click on the username and enter a password. After several reboots, I was able to manually login. Has anyone experienced this issue?

    not really, but do you really need it running ? it just sits there and takes resources that could be much better utilized. if i were you i'd totally disable it.
    my 5 cents....

    Have you seen yourself in a mirror lately? ;) No wonder the system keeps rejecting you! :p
    Seriously though, I'd reinstall the Command Center or remove it altogether as Mfractal suggested.

    :laugh: lolz! But seriously, I think it might have seen you at the wrong angle or something or perhaps the software failed a little. I agree that you should just turn it off.
