Problems with AlienFX

I got a new Alienware  15r3 and after setting it up and downloading the new drivers from dells website (which needed me to manually install them by flashing) on startup the Alienfx would not work , after about 3 hours of research and reinstalling command centers, and countless reboots, followed up by a full reset of the laptop (still no lights). Every time I click in the Alienfx tray on the bottom right(which has red eyes) it pops up saying "command controller/keyboard not recognized " or something and crashes Alien FX every time. I have tried reinstalling command center but it still hasn't worked.

    Hi caparmenia‌,

    Try a power drain: Unplug all devices from the system and disconnect it from the power. Open the system and disconnect the battery (You can follow the steps of how to open and disconnect the battery on this video until second 32). Then hold the power button for around a minute, plug the battery back and close the bottom cover. After the power drain, uninstall and reinstall the command center following ALL the steps on this article.  

    Also, you can follow some more the troubleshooting steps on this article.
