    It happened out of nowhere recently. If I try to turn my volume up or down using the buttons on the laptop media bar, the volume bar doesn't show up on my screen like it used to, instead the volume just changes to whatever I want.

    Also, the button for AlienFX from the keyboard media bar won't work anymore either, I have to manually open it.

    Is there any way to change this to default so it will work properly again?

    Thanks in advance

    I wasn't on the latest, just upgraded and it seemed to do the trick.

    Thanks a lot!

    And for anyone that's looking for this driver or has this same problem, you can get it here: ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/app/R240771.exe
