Alienware AlienFX - Microsoft .NET Framework Error

Ever since I got my X51 whenever I want to shutdown I get that notice that says background programs preventing shutdown. The program is Microsoft .NET Framework. If I chose force close or shut down anyways everything works fine. However, if I forget to do this I get sent back to desktop, AlienFX goes into disabled mode, and I get a notice from .NET saying, "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:45520." I know its AlienFX because if I close it before I shut down this doesnt happen. This isnt system breaking, but very annoying so if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Here is the Debug notice:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

yeah, Dell support's become a joke; most of the old links are broken or redirect you to a generic non-sense page. If there used to be a good link in this post it would have said either uninstall / reinstall .netframework & uninstall reinstall CmndCntr which you can try 1st (basic approach, launch your 60-70Mb CmndCntr.exe app, clik repair, reboot, see if it helped, if not, uninstall/reinstall).

.net uninstalls through your control panel & is available for download either through win update or Micro$oft.com for normal reinstall:

CmndCntr versions are found on Dell.com: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Products/

(good luck, here's what I had for help tonight)

Correct procedure to reinstall Command Center

1. Uninstall Command Center from the Control Panel > Programs and Features.

2. Open My Computer, click Folder and Search Options, choose the View Tab and enable Show hidden files and folders. Click OK.

3. Go to C:/Program Data/Alienware/Command Center/Thermal Controls and delete the Profile.xml file.

4. Go to C:/Users/ /AppData/Local/Alienware/Alienware AlienFX/Themes and delete all *.ath files.

5. Verify that the device manager doesn't have any unknown devices under Universial Serial Bus Controllers. If there are unknown devices see note

6. Restart the computer.

7. Download the latest version of Command Center available and run it.

8. Complete the Alien Command Center installation by answer Yes to all dialogue pop-ups. During the installation process, the Master I/O board firmware will be updated. Do not shut down the computer at this time. If the firmware update process fails, please contact Alienware for support.

9. Restart the computer.

10. Verify that there are no Unknown devices under Universal serial Bus Controllers. If there are unknown devices see the note below.

11. Launch AlienCommand Center.

Note: If there are unknown devices on the device manager, or no device is detected please do the following:

a. Verify the Master I/O board USB cable is properly connected to the motherboard and to the Master I/O board.

b. Drain the MB power for 1 minute.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Uninstall Command Center via control panel -Programs and Features-(do not reboot when asked).

1A. Go to C:\ProgramData\Alienware and delete Alienware folder (if it is there)

1B. Go to C:\Users\xxxYour Account Name Folderxxx\Appdata\local\Alienware (delete AW folder if it is there)

1C. Go to C:\Users\xxxYourAccount Name Folderxxx\Appdata\roaming\Alienware (delete AW folder if it is there)

2. Download and Run CCleaner's (google to find) registry cleaner to remove left over keys from the old Command Center uninstall.

3. Open Regedit (Winkey + R...Type Regedit), press control + F. In find what type Alienware and make sure the keys, data, and value is checked and click find next. After deleting each object (key, value, or data) related to Alienware press F3 to find the next Alienware location and delete. Repeat until done. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING IN THE SYSTEM INFORMATION FOLDER WHEN YOU GET THERE.

4. Download and install the latest AW Command Center from Dell's website. Search by your service tag. Then reboot when prompted

Thank you! Its fixed! 

I didn't follow of the the instructions, however, I was unsure of how to uninstall and reinstall .NET, so all I did was reinstall the Command Center. But it worked.

Thanks again.
