    Windows Update Problem After Upgrading to SSD and Installing Command Center

    So just got my M14x and decided to upgrade it with my own 256gb SSD which went smoothly except for one hang up. After installing the stock drivers off of Dell's support website for my M14x my Windows Update service becomes glitchy. Reinstalled a few times and I think the problem occurs after installing Alienware Command Center version 2.6.8.0 A00. Another problem that pops up after installation is that my Taskbar starts on Areo theme but will flash and revert to the Old XP looking Taskbar.

    Any ideas what the problem could be? Ran the system before installing Command Center and runs perfectly but once installed those two things break and the system runs funny. Installed old drive back in my M14x and runs fine with Command Center with what looks like the same version.

    Cheers!
