I have recently found out that my laptop doesn't go well with windows 10. So I did a reinstall thinking that would help, but it didn't. I can't even go back to window 7 even with the recovery CD. All of my Alienware apps are gone, none of my game files were saved, even though I made sure I wanted to save my files. I don't really know how, but I really want to go back to Windows 7 home. Or at least get my WIndows 10 working properly. And if possible, re-download Alienware Command Center.

Hello! First of all I am going to assume you have the m14x original and not the R2? If so it was never validated to work with Windows 10 unfortunately as you seem to have found out, so getting it to work with Windows 10 would be more hassle then its worth. If you have windows 7 dvd's did you not get one that had the OS and one with the drivers? The drivers disc would have all the applications while the OS disc generally just has the OS on it. You can also follow the information in section one here, to download or acquire restore media.

I have both disks, but should I reinstall windows 7 instead of trying to fix windows 10? The main reason that I don't really like windows 10 is because its made my computer's graphic cards not work correctly and give me only 30-60 fps instead of 70-120 fps.

I don't know if this will help but I downloaded from this link on Wednesday and saved it to a CD. I had the 7.3 version bookmarked and when I went back to download it a couple of days later the 7.4 version showed on the link.

I tried to help anyway, if this doesn't apply my appoligies. I downloaded for a X1300 Pro.

i cant download ATI catalyst mobility drivers from ATI longer.

And the drivers Dell has is old, and not good in vista.

ATI says Dell dont allow us too download directly from them anymore.

We must download drivers from Dell.

Why?

I have always used Omegadrivers for my Dell lappys, but they dont support Vista.

Edit

ex ATI Catalyst mobility 7.3 or 7.4

I can download Catalyst up to 7.2 for Vista directly from ATI

But can you install the drivers?

I cant.

It only says my drivers are up to date, and nothing to upgrade.

I have 7.2 drivers installed.

If i remove 7.2 drivers before install 7.3 or 7.4, the installprogram tells me that it cant find "no supported cards".

Thats correct, but i cant install them, or they wont install, because they dont support mobility card.

Follow your own link, but you have to choose "mobility Radeon".

Yes, but icant install them because Dell dont wont me too.

For my Asus i have downloaded and installed catalyst 7.3 for mobility from Asus website, have tried that driver for my Dell lappys, but they wont install.

I think its something in the .ini file for the driver.

Asus is fast to deliver updated drivers for ATI, Dell are not.

Thats bad, because i like my Dell lappys way more than Asus.

Im sorry for my bad english, im from norway.=)

This problem are for Nvidia too, but laptopvideo2go.com delivers updated drivers.
