    Ive recently had my M11x reformatted and now when i press FN+AlienFX it doesnt shut off the lights. Before it would work. The other issue is i installed the breed theme and when i did the internet explorer wouldnt load properly so i unistalled and reinstalled. now itunes doesnt load properlly. Is this normal?

    Did you install all of the drivers from Dell's website including all of the Alienware software suites? You need command center and alienware OSD installed.

    Also make sure that after you reinstalled your OS that you installed all of the MS patches afterwards. AlienFX is dependent on the .NET software installed on your OS.

    I'm not sure... are you using the correct (x64) versions? Are you using stable or beta builds?

    Those 2 applications have a known issue with the breed theme you would need to uninstall it or create an exception on the "MyColors" application.

    Honestly the breed theme has always been buggy, ditch it and save yourself a head ache.
