    Hey,

    Sorry to do this but I couldnt find what I needed, I found a lot a of stuff that I tried but still no go and now my mouse doesn't work.

    So I just got a m15x-R1 alienware 15" laptop its the silver one before the nicer style, has an upgraded t9500 chip, 4 gig ram, 200 gig hdd, 8800 video card. If anymore info is needed please ask

    So the issue is I put windows 7-32 bit on and now:
    -My keyboard doesn't light up or even show in the alienFX
    -the mouse pad lights up as well as the outside screen
    -the volume only goes up not down
    -the spaceship button doesn't do anything
    -aswell as the rpm gauge one
    -but the bluetooth and wifi ones work


    Sorry once again if this has already been asked...

    Thanks for any help

    You will need to find the win 7 drivers for your system. I'm on my phone atm so I don't have a link right now. But will gave you a link once I get home. Or you can search the legacy thread in the main forum.
