Command Center question
Is there a way to run Command Center in a window versus full screen? I would like to keep it in a window and monitor my temp via my second monitor.
The reason is, when I play battle field 2 beta my Area51 fans kick into high gear and they system gets pretty loud. It sounds like it might be the intake fan that kicks into high gear. I currently monitor my PC with CPUID HWMonitor which shows no fans RPM increase.
Thanks,
Joe

You can find the command center .exe files in the alienware folder on your c drive. I've done what you want. Each of the three parts of command center has it's own .exe file. Just click on them and they will run in it's own window. For example, on my computer you can find it with this path way:
C:\program files\alienware\command center
Scroll down the dir and you will see an application file named "thermalcontrols". Double click to run it and you will see it running in a window of it's own.

Does these temps and RPM speeds look good for in game? My system fan before game was 880RPMs. My system gets pretty loud during a game. It is tied to the system fan reving up 1045RPMs

Instead of trying to run it in a window, try just clicking on the little arrows in the top right of each box. This will put them right on the desktop as widgets.

I have actually done that before. I like it running in its own window. It keeps things nice and neat. Thanks for your reply :)

Does the above PIC look normal for gaming temp and fan speeds? I bet it is but I want to make sure.
