    Hello all! I have this problem with AlienFX and now it comes up at startup and when I open up Command Center (That also doesn't work)
    Here's the problem (It's probably a runtime string error)
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
    at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)

    And the other problem, is about the Bluetooth. This topic has been said over and over but none of the threads fix it.
    The Dell M11X Bluetooth setup does not work and even the DFU setup alternative method says "The DFU Wizard did not detect a matching Bluetooth device for the DFU image file you selected." And the Bluetooth problem happened when a Dell technician replaced the Motherboard. I even tried the non Dell Bluetooth device setup and that didn't help either. And ages before the Bluetooth Modem appeared in the Network adapters but it had a yellow caution sign near it and it said something about redialling and a Bluetooth 797 thing error about the Modem cannot be found. I think the Dell technician forgot something :rolleyes:
