    Hello Everyone,

    So it's been a while since I've posted, but that's what happens when everything works :D

    I just performed a clean install of Win7 on my (still) shiny M15x, but now I'm having some trouble re-installing BinaryGfx, AlienFx and all those lovely things. I've tried the mobile system downloads from the Alienware website, but they all have errors related to not supporting the OS.

    Any help?
    Thanks!

    Get the Vista OSD (32 or 64 depending on ur 7 os). That will give you basic ability to switch graphics (on 7 pro now) Command Center works (again, vista one), but fusion controller doesn't work well (takes up 3 gigs RAM) So I disabled that. Otherwise everything is happy on 7 :) (Even official nvidia laptop drivers work on 7 64 bit)
