    I just formatted my old Area 51 m15x (The silver plastic one - NOT THE NEWER M15X) and the command center is no where to be found. Its not even on the driver's CD that initially came with it. Every command center download I've found is for 64 bit, which refuses to work on this 32 bit system running Windows Vista. Does anyone have a clue where I can download command center? I can't access my hive. The email I initially used with it is inaccessible so I'm unable to use the "forgot password" feature.

    ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    In my experience, AuroraLightsFX is only functional if your lighting already works. When I formatted my old system and installed Win7 I had an awful time getting my lighting fully operational - depending on settings in ALFX, I could get certain zones to light up with certain colors, but never a complete light-up. I finally found the Command Center file that I needed and got my system 100%. I think that the Command Center files that I have are 64-bit as well, but I'll check and update.
