I have a quick question that may be a dumb one. I recently switched the HDD out of my M11xR2 for a OCZ Vertex 2 120gb SSD... I installed all the drivers without issues and all seems well.
However... Every time I shut down and start up windows I have the generic Windows 7 Blue startup/shutdown screen instead of the sweet Alienware Windows 7 screen that was darker and cooler looking. Now I know with an SSD I will hardly see it, but I would love to have that Alienware screen back. What download am I missing to get that?

Thanks Achilles, that almost worked, but Windows wont let me change the current picture. I right click the image, and go to properties to let my account adjust the settings and everything is greyed out, and it wont let me adjust who can do what to that file... even though I am the only user, and my user account is set to administrator -_-
I'm a windows 7 noob, how do I tell my computer to let me change that picture? -
You have to read!
You pretty much have to change registry stuff.

I used this program to change the background.

Thanks for the help, I finally got it to go. I feel like that was way harder than it should have been. I don't know why Microsoft makes that so difficult. -_-
