    hey guys. ok, now ive got my m15x back, i have reinstalled my copy of vista ultimate 64bit, using the drivers in oceanus' guide, and the install procedure. now everything is working, except stealth mode. the touch controls for bluetooth and wireless work perfectly, CC works but seems pretty slow, and stealth mode, just nothing, nothing happens at all. does anyone have any ideas?

    help appreciated

    I suggest you try uninstalling the Command Center and the OSD Utility respectively and then reinstall them in this order:

    #1. OSD Utility
    #2. Command Center.

    That's all I could think off the top of my head.

    Try to reflash your bios.

    Why would that help?

    Secondly; when I originally got my machine I noticed that Stealth mode took considerably longer to activate then bluetooth or wireless. Try holding the touch button for a considerable amount of time before you try anything fancy.

    CC has also always been slow for me. I don't even have it installed anymore. I'm using vikas software to control my lights now.

    Each time the touch controls don't work for me, i reflashed the bios, then it work again.

    That's my experience.
