*OFFICIAL* M11xR1 Owners Lounge - Part 4

[silverghost123]

Now I'm impressed, Dell said they would replace the unit within 5 - 7 days for a scratch on the on/off button.
Not bad service really, although I appreciate I am within my first 7 days of owning it so could have sent it back anyway.

Only problem is I will have to re-load all of the games again

I would've thought if you liked to rest your palm on the mouse you'd go for a G5 or G500 (both of which I have and love).

* Of course if you set the trackpad sensitivity all the way up it's going to go crazy....o.O

* MSN on the right - go to start > programs > find the MSN file and right click - change the mode to run for Windows Vista.

* Remove programs....erm, Control Panel > Programs/Uninstall?

* Someone here posted a link to the Alienware wallpapers - use the search button or just search for it on Dell's site

* Changing Alienware colors - open up the Alienware Control Centre software

* Trackpad scrolling up and down - in your taskbar open the Synaptec program and its under the options (you just need to check the box)

a lot of your questions were answered a page or two previously or in the manual...you took the time to write all that out I'm sure your work can spare a few more minutes reading

erm ok...if pretty is what you want then get a Razer Copperhead.

Hi silver,

Just wondering if you did actually request for a full replacement of the unit?
i'm also having a build issue at the bottom right of the palm rest being sharp edges while the other side is smooth.

Also got a slight faint crack on the inside of the speaker light on the left.

i'm not sure if Dell would be bother with the replacement or repair (just don't want them to make it worse as it is)

Cheers

Ahem.. ok - I'll bite..

Hello, i got my Alienware M11x yesterday, it runs games okay but the trackpad sometimes goes crazy and slips all the way up or down ? I set on control panel max speed cause its more comfortable with me....is that why? anyone with same problem? Its starting to get anoying...

probably... have you tried setting it to something other than "max speed"?

How do i do and what link exactly i get to update, should i rly get Scrybe?

http://.com/?q=uscrybe+drivers

depends on what you want/need from the driver/software and it's capabilities.

Also (this forum is too big i dont have time to read all of it...i have work to do...) how do i remove programs that are unecessary?

Start -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a Program, or...

http://.com/?q=windows+7+uninstall+program

And how do i make 3 partitions so there will be one for win 7, win xp and another for my stuff ....

http://.com/?q=how+to+create+multiple+partitions

And how do i upgrade to win 7 professional ...

http://.com/?q=how+to+upgrade+...7+professional

Also i was trying to install S4 game and it said theres no space in the disk but all i have here is just Flyff that i wanted to test, NOTHING ELSE, is going on? it says exactly

"Install S4 League_EU to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\alaplaya\S4League

I click next and...
"There is not enought space to install"

How do i solve this? ...

no clue... ya got me here...

And how do i just put my msn program running on the right side of my taskbar not like a window? is it possible ?

eh - not sure on this one either.. - I'd look it up but I've got work to do myself..

And how do i download the Alienware wallpapers ...

http://.com/?q=download+alienware+wallpapers

And how do i put my xbox controller to work on it ...

http://.com/?q=xbox+controller+with+pc

Also anyone know bout a good usb HDTV ...

http://.com/?q=hdtv+usb+tuner

And How do i set my alienware to shine red with orange or yellow without blink all the time i mean, mixed collors? ...

double-click the nice, shiny blue Alienware Command Center shortcut on your desktop.. then click "AlienFX" at the bottom - enjoy...

And it seems the F1 key isnt working? what exactly is it for? ...

usually context sensitive help, depending on the application you're currently using - additionally it's the FN key to use to push the video to an external monitor...

again:

http://.com/?q=what+does+the+f1+key+do%3F

And it seems the trackpad roll up and down feature ( on any ordinary laptop but not this one) isnt working, how the heck i put it to work? ....

Assuming you have the Synaptics Drivers properly loaded...

Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Mouse -> Device Settings -> Settings -> Scrolling

(hoping you'll figure it out from here...)

And anyone knows of any good wireless gaming mouse good for my tiny hands ...

about are from razer, logitech or R.A.T mad catz cyborg mouse(atm i need 2 mouses one for desktop other for the alienware laptop but really cant be too big, but i want to rest my palm on it...), I TRYED but i cant find their especific sizes on the net...:

Razer: mamba, orochi or imperator ...

http://.com/?q=razer+orochi+size+dimensions

Cyborg R.A.T. Mad Catz 9 (the only wireless one and super sick style good to suit my cute Alienware M11x):

(This one's able to change it's dimensions... however:

http://.com/?q=Cyborg+R.A.T.+M...ize+dimensions

Logitech G9x or G9...(its hold i really like, the grip..):

http://.com/?q=Logitech+G9x+size+dimensions

Sentinel Advance - Coolermaster Mouse

http://.com/?q=Sentinel+Advanc...ize+dimensions

And at the last finally, sorry for the so many questions...better all asked in one shot than spamming with several posts...

However, in case you're wondering:

Anyone know of the M11x GPU will be Nvidia 3D capable with new drivers and 3D display?
I saw the thread about the M15x being compatible and was curious.

right and i guess to solve a weird noise i started to hear on the second day im using this laptop i have to use the same link like above? really thanks for the great help, best ever, since i googled everything and i guess in the forum i cant get help? haha

The weird noise you're experiencing - potentially the fan? As when it turns on - it is a bit louder than typical notebook/netbook fans..

I'm not saying that you can't get help here - you certainly can - just a lot of your questions are very typical and are easily found if you'd search based on the exact same information/words that you just typed in your original post.

To wit, the point of my post.

With regards to the sound you're referring to and are concerned about - what is the sound? what does it sound like? where is it coming from with regards to the location of the laptop? front? back? left? right? does it come on/off randomly? or is it consistent? is it loud? or barely noticeable? Computers make a *lot* of different sounds...
