    I just reformatted, but how do I get some of the Alienware stuff back?

    I have OSD and Catalyst Command Center back on here, but I don't see on the Resource CD the thing that pops up when I wanna change the colors of my keyboard, etc, or the Stealth Mode indicator doesn't show up anymore when I push the Stealth Mode button. I doubt it even changes to Stealth mode, tbh.

    Either way, it runs a lot faster and starts up a lot faster now that I've started from a clean slate, but I'd like to get ahold of these features I had before when it came with the system.

    Thanks

    That's literally what I have on my Resource CD, I can't imagine anything different coming out of that, but thanks

    I may have overlooked Alienware Command Center mistaking it for CCC, we'll find out!

    Well, that worked for me, but now my media keys aren't working anymore...hmmm

    Why does this seem to be the answer to everything?

    Thanks!

    delta everything you need should be on the disks that came with your system. I just did a reformat and EVERYTHIGN came on the discs minus the aliewnare backgrounds etc (which I copied over before I reformatted). So you must be doing something wrong if something is missing. just FYI.
