Play an Alienware Laptop: READ THIS

[Kentucky_Bandit]

The new issue 8 is causing some problems for people who run an Alienware desktop and have Alien FX enabled (to light your keyboard)

If you plan to play and don't want your lights to turn off till the next time you restart, toggle OFF the "Enable 3rd Party AlienFX Access" found when you right click the AlienFX in your taskbar. This keeps it from attempting a failed access and crashing your control board for your keyboard lights.

Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for the post. It was an issue for me so thanks.

That helped a lot, BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE ALIENWARE: FX IS AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF YOUR SCREEN! Click the up arrow to the left of your date/time and then right click the alien head. Hope this helps.

Yeah... that was kinda freaky looking when I saw what it did.
