Hi all,
I decided to update my m14xR2 from Windows 7 to 8.1, at the same time as switching to uefi boot (seems a bit quicker) and installing to the MSATA drive (I have a 256gb MSATA SSD and a 1tb HDD, using 64gb of SSD for cache and windows is now on the remaining 192gb of SSD).
I'm having a few issues though, even after all the downloads on the dell site (is it me or are there many duplicates on here?)
Intel RST manager won't run, as soon as I try it crashes. SRT Cache is working however, unless I have a magic HDD with a 400mb/sec read speed.
Creative Recon3Di control panel wont run, crashes immediately, however system is using creative drivers (not MS ones) and I hear sound.
Any ideas on fixing?
Thanks!

Oh, also, the alienware control centre won't open, so I can't set the lighting colour...
This is a bit crap :/ -
Hi, Have you try the latest driver from dell ? -
For the command center, you can install windows 8 version command center.. -
I guess I'll reinstall again. -

I'm redownloading 8.1 from Technet and will try another clean install. system file checker seems to think there are no issues, so not sure what could be causing everything to crash.
