- How To Download Alienware Control Center On Mac
Any ideas as to where I can download the Command Center for Windows 10? I got my new 17R2 on Tuesday, installed Windows 10 today, and now I cant seem to find Command Center anywhere on my system. This software download is currently available as version 4.8.23. Compatibility may vary, but generally runs on Microsoft Windows systems. Alienware Command Center has been tested for viruses, please refer to the tests on the 'Virus Tests' page. The text above is not a piece of advice to remove Alienware Command Center by Dell Inc. From your PC, nor are we saying that Alienware Command Center by Dell Inc. Is not a good application. This text only contains detailed info on how to remove Alienware Command Center in case you decide this is what you want to do.
This is a guide to install the Alienware Command Center (CC) software onto any non-Alienware motherboard (e.g. ASUS Sabertooth 990FX) where the Alienware MIO or F/IO board is attached. Typically this method is used for Alienware cases such as Area-51 R1 & R2, All Aurora’s, X51 etc.The following you do at YOUR OWN RISK. I take no responsibility if you damage your system.
Note: Testing has been confirmed for Area-51 R1 and associated MIO board with ASUS Motherboard for version CC 2.8.11. For CC 3, 3.6 have also been confirmed for Area-51 and Aurora R4 respectively. The .NET version on the system will need to be 3.5 and above.
Now let’s BEGIN…
Typically most people find when they change their OEM Alienware motherboard and try to install the CC version that suits their case and MIO board they receive this error:
The following is based on an Area-51 R1 case with its MIO board. To get around the installation error do the following steps:
1) Logon to your Alienware desktop with Alienware Motherboard
(if you don’t have an Alienware desktop with Alienware motherboard you will need to make a request to a friend or others for the matching BIOS key – see next step) sample Area-51 R1 provided below
2) Run Regedit.exe on Alienware desktop
a. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEHARDWAREDESCRIPTIONSystemBIOS
(note: Win 7 and Win 10 are similar structure for this key both should work, Win 8 not tested)
b. Select BIOS key and right mouse click and select “Export” and save on selected network or portable drive call it “Alienware BIOS.reg”
(note: recommend using network drive so that your new desktop system or build can use it)
(note: Win 7 and Win 10 are similar structure for this key both should work, Win 8 not tested)
b. Select BIOS key and right mouse click and select “Export” and save on selected network or portable drive call it “Alienware BIOS.reg”
(note: recommend using network drive so that your new desktop system or build can use it)
3) Now logon to New Desktop
(Alienware case with it MIO and 3rd Party motherboard)
4) Download “Command Center 2.8.11” as an example (or the CC version that suits your case/MIO) from link onto a network or portable drive for example the Area-51 R1 case + MIO will be used.
