    Works like a charm on my M15x. Thanks, Wattos.

    Is there any special place you need to run the executable from to get this to work? Perhaps that's what I'm doing wrong. This version and the versions prior I'm having the same issue. The icon always displays as green indicating that Stealth Mode is off, irrespective of the true state of Stealth Mode at the time. If I enable Stealth Mode via the indicator it turns to red, then right back to green again indicating that Stealth Mode is off. Again, the state of Stealth Mode remains unchanged. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and system bios A05.

    No special place on mine. It's running from folder c:\Utilities\StealthIndicator2. I also have a shortcut included in the Startup folder so that it is launched automatically during startup.

    Per the issue I've been having shown above...
    Finally got the Stealth Mode Indicator working! Simply updated Alienware Command Center to v2.5.54 via the updates option within the interface. Updated my system bios from A05 to A07 as well.

    wattos, it's beautiful!
    you have turned the most useless button on our system into the most useful!

    one minor issue, the current working path will be your program's path, not the app we are trying to run. some apps complain with this. i just get around it by having your app run a shortcut instead in which the working directory is set.

    i wish i could +rep you again bud.

    Yeah, I just updated my bios for the heck of it. Had I stayed at A05 I'm betting I would have been good to go per your Stealth Mode Indicator after having updated Alienware Command Center.

    Hey,

    I made an update. This version of the app now does not poll, but listens on keypressed and can detect the stealth mode button press without a problem. The disadvantage is, when you change the stealth mode by software, this app wont be able to detect it. The only software I know which changes stealth mode, is this software. It is fine to change the stealth mode from within this application, but from the same instance.

    The main benefit is that this is less resource intensive and a lot more responsive. You can give it a go ^^
