    Hi Guys, after a windows update my splash screen (the log in screen) was replaced and despite searching the forums and the internet generally I can't find a way to put back the screen that came with the laptop. Anyone know how to restore this image?
    Thanks

    I believe you have to select 'Alienware' under the installed themes section. That should get back the Alienware login screen. After that you can change pretty much everything else, like wallpaper, colours etc.

    Wish I could find a way to get rid of the 'tasteless' scooped out brain alien at the BIOS boot stage.

    Think we've been there and it's part of the BIOS and can't be changed.

    Damn.
