Some of you might remember me, but anyway.

My AlienFX was screwed up and I couldn't fix it for nearly 1 year. But I learned how to fix it, it's all about the Alienware OSD application!
If cleaning your registry doesn't fix it for you then you need to reinstall the Alienware OSD. Reinstalling the Command Center doesn't do anything. I tried reverting my BIOS months ago and reinstalling my .NET but that wasn't the problem! You need the OSD installed to use AlienFX.
Sorry for the paragraph but I hope this helps someone! Dell is leaving the R1 (especially) and R2 users in the hole.

Thanks for sharing your finding but we've posted this quite a few times and it is true.
Glad you managed to figure it out.
