    Hey~ I was playing around with a program called Cacheman~ which seems to have been a bad choice on my part, since after running what is supposed to optimize cache usage caused a problem with alienfx. Everytime I try to start it up I get a long message as follows:
    Code: 
    System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'AlienLabs.AlienFX.Communication.PID0x512.Classes.ObjectFactory' threw an exception. ---> System.Management.ManagementException: Not supported

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling command center and the result is the same. Anyone have any clue what got messed up and what I need to fix? Thanks :p

    Edit: hah looks like I fixed the problem myself by simply doing a system restore. On a side note is cacheman or programs like it something worth using?
