    I noticed that this program has been removed from where it was originally hosted. I have a few questions regarding it:

    1.) Was there ever a 64-bit version? (I ask this despite the fact that the 32-bit version works fine on my 64-bit machine.)

    2.) Does anyone have a working copy of the latest version? The only versions I've found available online are old.

    3.) The source is available online. I can compile it without issue and it runs fine, but when trying to change my colors I get the "unable to set colors" message. The other versions I've downloaded change my colors fine, so I assume this is specific to the binary I've compiled. Any ideas what's wrong?

    Thanks for any and all insight.

    which computer do you use? The new All powerfull models arent supported.

    1.) its a .Net program, it runs on both platforms.
    2.) You should be able to compile the latest version yourself
    3.) It might be because you are running the all powerfull series?

    Also, there is AlienFX Lite (look at my sig) which works with the new models.

    Hope this helps

    I have the original m15x. The program has worked fine in the past, but I was forced to reinstall Windows a few days ago, only to find that this piece of software is no longer available.

    I understand that it runs fine on both platforms. I was moreso curious about whether or not it was ever compiled as a 64-bit app; the task manager indicates its 32-bit but I cannot recall in the past whether my previous version was or not. This is more curiosity than anything else.

    The only versions that don't work are the ones I've compiled myself, which leads me to believe it's something that I'm doing (or rather, not doing.)

    I'd very much love to acquire the latest version available, if anyone happens to have it.
