    Newbie question...........I just got my new m14x. There is a program call Alien autopsy that when I try to launch it gives me a message that it's already running. How do I open up a screen on this program and get a report?
    Another post talked of temp readings...........I replied to that one with no response.

    Alien Autopsy is a background service that occasionally scans the hardware and checks for driver and device updates.

    try to see if its active in taskbar?
    if you cant seem to find it, go to task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) go to processes and select alien autopsy and force close it. Then run it again . that should work. Its not a solution but an alternative.
