ok that is great and all, but can you give me a link on how to do it with WIndows 8? I am in the file explorer and I cannot find an organize button to find the folder and search options.
I went into the control panel and uninstalled it and then went to DELLS site and installed a fresh 2.8 and restarted my computer. The command center works fine now and I have already changed the colors a few times.
Can I just install it again from Dells site? I see one that says Command Center 2.8 for Desktops? Can I just run that and install or do I have to go through a whole huge mess of things?
Uninstall the current version first from "Programs and features" in the Control Panel and re start the system. Then, go to C:\Program Files\Alienware and right click on the "Command Center" folder and delete it, after you delete the folder, press the Win+R (Windows key plus the "R" key) and type "regedit.exe" and click on run. Once in the registry, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Alienware and right click on the Alienware AlienFX folder and delete it.
After that, you can go ahead and download and re install the Command Center 2.8

You want me to uninstall and reinstall when the computer is barely a few hours old? EEP!
