    ive tried it in win7. having followed findvikas x64 guide, it was 80% working, only webcam aliensense not working and keyboard not showing. i uninstalled, rebooted, installed these new files, and now keyboard is there from start, but still no aliensense, and the osd doesnt display anymore? the buttons work(apart from cc) so all seems a bit hit and miss on win7 at the minute.

    thats what happened to me the first time. did you uninstall it first? inc. the updated version? i wiped all alienware from my programs list, apart from the webcam driver + update. rebooted, installed OSD, attempted install of dotnetfx as stated above, then AW 64bit CC and keyboard is now light up and changeable. still no aliensense, and in CC the only thing that works is AlienFX, fusion and touch just freeze CC.


    i might hesitate an uneducated guess lol, that its something to do with dotnetfx, as it doesnt seem to install properly, but does let you install CC, which wouldnt install without it
