    Hey everyone, it's been a while since I was on this site...

    Anyways, in case this problem was already resolved, just say so and provide links...

    So, I have a Alienware M11X (R1), C2D SU7300, 4GB RAM, 320GB HD, etc.

    Problem: Every time I turn on the laptop, all the AlienFX lighting zones except for the "ALIENWARE" logo is lit... The "ALIENWARE" logo is finally lit after the desktop + gadgets are loaded. :(

    Any solutions to this problem, please reply... :(

    EDIT: I have a A05 Bios, all the drivers installed correctly (according to the Dell Technician), and I recently had the LCD display screen replaced (however, the same problem occured before the replacement)...

    Try changing the color theme to something where everything is on, rebooting, and then changing it to whatever theme you prefer. With mine it seems like something the previous theme gets stored in somewhere so that when the laptop turns on from being off or sleeping, it thinks that stored, previous one is the right one, but then when Windows loads fully, it loads the latest theme.

    Yeah, figures...

    I just tried some themes, and apparently,
    that problem only appears whenever I use a theme that utilizes advanced settings and adding colors in the same zone...

    Thanks, I appreciated your help...
