    What is the error message?

    1. Try reinstalling Command Center
    ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/app/R232274.exe

    Restart the system.

    2- Create a new Theme in AlienFX (open Command Center -> enter AlienFX -> close the current theme -> create a new theme).

    ok, I uninstalled,ran ccleaner,and reinstalled now when I go to command center on alienfx it says theme can not be loaded. When you go to create theme, the boarder for alienfx is there but the colors and pics of the zones are not. just empty boarders. thanks Justin
