    Hey guys

    Is this a common problem? I install the windows 7 download and it all goes smoothly and it finds drivers for my mouse/keyboard/bluetooth/wireless and audio...

    ...But the alienware Command center driver for vista x64, and the OSD driver (on screen display, for the touch icons that pop up) dont want to install. They unzip, the icon for setup shows, but it just goes away after a few seconds.

    Any ideas? Ive got the latest bios update on here, it was just updated from Vista, which was working perfectly.

    Thanks
    -Spazer

    Did you create a dvd for the .iso file or are you using a virtual drive?

    If it goes away after you hit setup then it is installed. (OSD anyway)

    You should find that any of the Fn combos will display the OSD.

    I made a DVD for the ISO file.

    So there is no way as of yet to get the command center installed? (the OSD program is working now)
