Problems with Alienware FX.
So, I recently bought an Alienware m17x and had lots of permissions problems. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate, however, I didn't backup my drivers correctly. Wasn't really that big of a problem, I just had to download and install them from Dell's website, not difficult, just time consuming.
Anyways, I reinstalled the Command Center (Which looks different from the original one I had, which I'm assuming was just an earlier model.) and it opens. However, it doesn't recognize any of my hardware for my lights, and it's just a blank screen and I can't change any color.
Can anyone help me? I attached a screen shot I did last night.

Whatever you do, do NOT use the command centre off your Cd/DVDs which came with the system or use Alien ReSpawn, it will kill your lights.
Hopefully someone can help with this but the warning is all I got :)

Thank you Cenobitez.
Luckily I don't have my DVDs! Any help is appreciated. At least I know what NOT to do, which definitely helps rule out any more problems.

Download CCC onto desktop.
Completely removed the CCC and use a cleaner like system mechanic to clean up registry / comm references, etc...
Turn off system and hold down power button until light on i/o board turns off.
Restart computer, make sure anti virus is disabled, and install CCC from desk top.
Don't update from CCC once installed and working correctly.

Actually, I unstalled my .NET framework, and installed 4.0. After a restart it worked just fine!
Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
