How to get my Alienware User Select Wallpaper, Icon, and Desktop Background after a Recovery
I just received my M15x laptop last week and have had several issues with it. I finally decided to just to a clean windows install. I have everything installed and working without issue but I would like to download my desktop wallpaper and icon as well as the user select screen. Is there anywhere I can find this? It was not on the resource CD or on the Windows CD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found my answers.
The Wallpapers can be found by doing a search on the support site here for Alienware Desktop its an executable. The user icons can be found by going to user accounts selecting the account and then changing the icon Alienware will automatically be there. Lastly, the log on wallpaper will be included in the desktop backgrounds.

My issue is with my Bluetooth. It still isn't working properly. It detects the device and adds it but my service tab is blank.
Also I was having the slowness issue as well what I did was run the recovery on the unit with the included Windows CD NOT the restore. I deleted all partitions on my system and did a clean install. Then I JUST installed the apps I wanted off the Alienware Resource CD. All my speed related issues went away and she is running like a champ. The issue I think stems from all the extra stuff Manufacturers like to put on new systems. Once you clear away that bloatware usually your system will run smooth. Hopefully that helps you.

Just curious, what issues did you have? I also have a brand new M15x and have had some serious issues with the video card, a single Nvidia GTX260M. It is running at about half the speed now as compared to when I first got it. I did a clean install of Windows, no change.
