    Ok, I got an Alienware m15x with Windows 7 64bit. The problem is when i touch the touch buttons above the keyboard, the little window in the middle of the screen which is suppouse to come up doesn't come up...

    Its pretty hard to explain what i mean when i don't know what its called.

    BTW: The touch buttons work but the window that is supouse to pop up, and show that i am enabled Stealth Mode or not does not come up!


    Thx

    You can get it from dell's driver website. oh wait, do you mean the old m15x model? in that case you should able to get it from alienware.com. Just look for the OSD driver on drivers page.

    Hmm, have you install the OSD ? My advice is try uninstalling the command center from control panel. Then download the Command center from dell's website and install back.

    I have never made the CC and Stealth Mode touch button to work since I got my machine. Other buttons work just fine. But I dont really care about 'em that much.

    For the CC issue in which only FX works is kinda very common. Thing is FX is the only thing that matters, others are useless so you may not need to care about 'em either :D

    I know thats not a solution but... However you can try reinstall CC or do an AlienRespawn to see if it works.

    Try this.

    Uninstall CC and install all the drivers for your laptop. When all the other drivers and stuff are installed then get command center and install it. Fixed the problems for me. For any other stuff that's alienware you will have to uninstall CC first, like with the tactx mouse it messed up CC when I got and I was like but then I reinstalled and it fixed.

    If that doesnt work then see the above post xD
