Windows Mobility Center missing Dell customization? DCSU problem?

Question

I'm a new Dell user with a Dell Precision M4600 notebook which I'm very happy with. I would really like to tweak the keyboard backlight, though, to stop it turning off. I've seen references in this forum to being able to do that with the Dell Extensions to Windows Mobility Center. When I bring up Windows Mobility Center I see no Dell extensions. Is this somehow missing or broken, or is it not available on this hardware? I see that I can control the keyboard backlight from Control Panel - but there's no option to disable the timeout there. Is it possible that the lack of a Windows Mobility Center is caused by a failure of DCSU? It crashed on first run, and though I've run it manually since then, it seems to have problems, claiming failure to install (no additional information) some updates, and not recognizing that two updates have already been installed, since it wants to re-install them after several apparently successful updates. So I guess I have two questions: is there something I need to do to make DCSU work reliably, and is there a way to add the Dell customization to Windows Mobility Center?

Khaer,   Did you look in Dell Control Point. My system used Dell QuickSet   I have the settings in the Windows mobility center, I click on the little square in the backlit keykeyboard area.     Rick

Thanks. No, I don't see a Dell Control Point or anything else other than system update, battery information, help and webcam.

Is there a package I should have installed to get the Dell update to Mobility Center?
