Alienware M17-R1 - Changing Colours

Hi there,

Im new to this community, i have recently bought a M17-R1 Alienware Laptop and im amazingly happy with it all.

The only thing that i cannot figure out is how to change the red lights under my keyboard to another colour?

Ive looked all over online, watched videos, etc etc and people say that if i go into the Alienware Command Center and click FX i can do this.

The only problem is that when i open up the Command center i do not have this option? i only have the 3, Fusion, Touch and Sense?

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Although on this screen there is a space next to Sense that looks like something could fit in?

Weird issue. Remove the Alienware Command Center. Install this version. Restart the system when done.

Hi KillapleX and TROYCURTIS,

Normally this issue is related to .net framework and you could find some information about it on this article.

First, the AWCC   should be uninstalled and the .net framework as well.

After that, do that same process backwards, install .net framework 4.0 or 4.5 and finally install the AWCC.

Let me know how it goes.
