I have attempted to use this utility several times and get the error @ 13% : "Error Parameter Delegate Combo Box Supported Values ...Value cannot be null. Parameter name :value

I have disabled UAC to no avail.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility several times from both the included CD and off Dells site.

Thanks in advance

EDIT***                   I was able to overclock from bios per instructions, yet I am still curious about the software.

***2nd Edit*** Chris I had the following running in the background:

1. Mcafee Anti viral

2. Ad-Aware

3. Thermal controller software

4. AlienFX

5. Logitech setpoint

Both of you should list all the applications running while trying to use the Intel software.

Chris I had the following running in the background:

1. Mcafee Anti viral

2. Ad-Aware

3. Thermal controller software

4. AlienFX

5. Logitech setpoint

Right click and disable 1 and 2 and try the Intel application.

I disabled Mcaffee and Ad-aware and the problem persists.

The error still shows up and the tuning GUI comes up with a log file that shows:

 WARNING: Auto tuning resumed after an extended period of not doing anything for 2476.75622004833 minutes. This usually happens because of a prolonged system hang or crash.

At this point the GUI shows the tuning progress bar as full (done), as well as the "progress of current task" bar.

Under the heading: elapsed time I am currently at 5.14:04:09... five days lol?

I hit the stop button on the tuning GUI and it grays out and the icon says "stopping".

Under the remaining heading I am being counted down from 01:10:00... an hour and ten to stop the process?

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the utility and also scrubbed the registry with CCleaner hoping to avoid any problems.

As I posted before I am able to achieve an overclock via the Bios, but I am currently running my machine on the optimal default bios settings.

I will let this GUI "remaining time" run out and then I will try the auto tune feature again.

Similar issues to Strangepowers, got same error message. This is on a completely fresh boot, I just received this PC on Tuesday. So fustrated I can't use features I assumed would of been tested and updated. Currently on Bios A06, programs that were running was 60 services from normal boot, Setpoint for Logitech mouse drivers, nothing else.

I'm getting this error for some reason. Well it's more like a pop up because after I close it Intel Tuning program shows up. But every time I run the Intel program I get this.

Deejaydel, I actually had tech support on the phone and asked them to open up and run the Intel Tuning program directly to show them that error message. Response was that you get that warning when you don't have any OC set, meaning that null = stock and it's just apart of the software currently.

Looks like this is pretty much on par with the rest of alienwares junk, put a decent app on an alienware and it don't work anymore. This is just one more pile for dell to sweep under the rug and forget about.

Lookslike you are using XTU 1.3. We will release XTU 2.1. Be checking the website.
