    I bought my Alienware x14 a few days ago, and I've had issues with the AlienFX that came along with it. I was really looking forward to the plugins for wmp and iTunes to make the computer dance between lights, but neither seem to work. I went into the preferences of wmp and found the plugin tab. I clicked AlienFx and the 'preferences' button at the button, but that did not pull up any window or anything. I have re-installed the command center and AlienFx multiple times but that did not help either. Help?!

    EDIT: Also, the alienfx doesn't work on LoL either, I enabled it in the game and in the cfg file.

    Uninstall the alien fx
    Reflash your bios
    Install mono and Management engine drivers for your machine
    Then install alienfx
