    When I click "AlienTouch" I get this, rather long, error before the application closes itself. Anyone have any ideas what this may be? Thanks!

    did you upgrade synaptics driver from synaptics website? I would get a load of crappy text from that as well. You need to install synaptics driver DELL provides and reinstall command center. Thought aliensense doesn't provide any options you won't find in mouse settings.

    Hope that helps to solve the problem.
