    These worked for my m15x. Which version do you have? The pre-dell Alienware's or the Dell takeover alienwares? My drivers are for the 2008 pre-dell units

    Are you running a 64 or 32-bit version of Windows? My guess is the Command Center might by 64-bit only

    Ahh ok, then that's probably why you are receiving the "Processor Architecture" error. Any reason you don't want to run 64-bit? When I bought my m15x I'm not sure I was even given the option for 32-bit. You may have to pick between 32-bit or 64 & working Command Center
