m15x mini-MyHive

[zeilgekje]

I used the Vista ones in Compatibility mode

and works it stable??

Yup. I'm back on Vista though, used it for a couple of weeks only.

I believe OSD should be installed before any of the Video Drivers otherwise you will not be able to switch out of your various display videocard options.

darkloki, I consulted both the first page of this thread (the install order) also the help section on AW website. Moreover I am using this install order right now on my laptop and it's working perfectly.

OK sorry, I didn't mean to step on any toes i was just speaking from personal experience. I didn't install OSD until after the 2 video card drivers were installed and I was unable to utilize fn+f7. To resolve this problem/situation I had to remove my Cmos battery. and also the OSD listed on the windows 7 (Alienware Forums) is out dated as I had to go with OSD from MyHive, so you might want to fix that too if you work over there.

No offense taken. Although I cannot see how you managed to install both drivers beforehand. When I tried this it always returns an error when installing the inactive video card driver.

[darkloki]

no, you first install the nvidia, then you turn on your pc holding down right mouse button that forces the intel card. And then you get stuck on INtel.

Hi -- does anybody know of a way to slow down the CPU fan even after downgrading the BIOS to x32? Even when doing light surfing, the fan usually kicks on after about 3 minutes.

Hi guys. I have a major problem with my new m15x (yeah m15x not M15x).

AlienFX does not work.

I tried to activate it under Win7 x86 / Win7 x64 / Win XP x86 (don't have Win Vista here) but everytime it tells me that the connection to the controller failed.

I installed all drivers in the correct order.

I have tried to shut it down. Remove the AC and batteries. Press start button. Reconnect it and boot it up.

I tried to uninstall all USB-Devices and reboot.

I followed the instructions in this thread, but still NO lights.

Any tipps?
