    I clean installed Windows 7 about a week ago and installed all the drivers and now whenever I boot up I get a message saying "Can't open ACPI ATK0100 kernel Mode Driver." I Google'd it and found out that I need to install the ATK driver in Vista compatibility mode. So I went to the Alienware website, downloaded the driver, put the installation file on my Desktop, set it to the right compatibility mode and when I run it and click setup, I get a message asking if I want to install it, I say yes and then it says "Install Failed!" What do I do? Please don't tell me I have to recover my computer because I basically just did that by installing Windows 7! Any help would be appreciated.
