    Thank's Steve but that's not the issue. When you download the zip folder from alienware there are 3 version's of alienGUIse in it, One for Windows XP, One for Windows Vista, And one for Window's 7. And I am using the one for Window's XP, So it is stumping me trying to figure out what's wrong. I have an eMachines with window's 7 and is running the Windows 7 alienguise just fine. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

    For assistance specific to your system (especially since it is about software for a pre-Dell model), you will have better luck posting in the Alienware Area-51/Aurora and Legacy Systems subforum.

    Thank's Taz. Didn't know my laptop belonged there.
