    Why can't you? Have you tried hitting Fn + Pause? Some more information would be helpful.

    There is not a setup for 32bit. I installed setup for 64bit on my 32bit but it said something like "cant run on this os"

    Better question: Why are you using the 32 bit OS? You might be able to use AlienFX Lite.

    That is a very good question, why are you using 32 bit? I don't think AW/Dell sells them with a 32 bit OS.

    That's not an OS problem, the OS shouldn't be causing that unless you have a corrupted install. Tell us more about what's going on and we can help you troubleshoot it or call Alienware.

    Installing a Win 32bit OS does seem extreme when 32bit applications will run under win64 bit OS.

    Mind you, I have heard of stranger things, like those that have installed windows XP on their M11x.

    This is exactly why I keep an old AMD 2800+ XP sitting on my bedroom floor...that's broken for the fifty-twelfth time. :) So I can play Blazing Angels b/c it hates Windows 7 lol

    I hate to get elitist on you but you should move on. I have an XP laptop myself but all the games I've played on my M11x worked just fine, albeit a bit of tweaking. Once again, what kind of games are you trying to play on it that 'fail' on Windows 7?
