Hello touchmaster,
You will need to uninstall the nVidia ESA BEFORE installing the Alien FX or the Thermal Monitor. You can find the latest copies of those programs on Chris M's latest update to the XPS FAQ dated 2/13/09 on the main page of General Hardware, or here:

In my faulty memory, I remember Chris in some post over the last month stating that the nVidia program should be removed prior to installing the Dell Alien FX to prevent conflicts that might cause system lockup. The updated installs are listed by model number (XPS ***) so click on the number that matches your system and the specific instructions are located there.
Best,
