    No more issue with the mouse freeze on open windows and having to stop and restart explorer in task manager. Machine boots faster and the lights can still all be adjusted to taste. Alien-sense is gone Both were resource hogs and kind of gimmicky. The little Java program is really cool,

    THANK YOU SLICKIE.........rep rep rep.....

    Does it work with the winamp plugin ??

    Its the thing which makes LEDs change color to the beat of the music.

    Don't know about that I don't use WinAmp (I run J River Media Center) But the whole "disco" machine thing is one of the reasons I dumped Command Center. Just want back-lighting. Everything else is off.

    Thanks for that Slickie +rep.. @tekshow, Aliensense can be very finicky especially under different lighting conditions. I would have preferred a fingerprint scanner myself.

    Hey, I don't have anything to do with AlienFX Lite. You all need to be thanking Wattos. I don't really even care for the application. :\
