    "The Catalyst 9.5" is a special capacitor that keeps voltage in reserve to help boost the graphics cards when the demands are at their highest.

    Just kidding! :D

    Catalyst 9.5 are Graphics drivers for the video cards. New drivers are "sometimes" good for increasing compatability with hardware, Operating systems, and in general are supposed to correct issues or improve performance.

    DPBaseball1319, have you contacted Alienware Rose or Alienware Armando about your keyboard? If not, look in this link to pm one of them. They are here to help too.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=374326

    And here is a link from the A.W. site on how to remove the keyboard:

    http://4help.alienware.com/cgi-bin/...mNoX3RleHQ9bTE3IGtleWJvYXJk&p_li=&p_topview=1

    There may just be a loose keyboard connection.

    I'd send Armando or Rose a pm first though if you're not comfortable with this.

    If anyone needs to host any drivers, let me know. I have premium Rapidshare and Megaupload accounts, so the links will never disappear.

    Are you sure you downloaded the full version with ccc and the drivers?

    You can download them seperate or all together in a package.

    When you install them, you need to exit the second installer and mob mod the package, then run setup.exe
