These are good looking and installed fine, however my system slowed some after installing and I had to install the Alienware Theme from dell and restore windows look to Windows default. The Alienware theme is listed below from Dell's site.

The way to fix that is run the screensaver preview and then click out of it and your task bar will be fixed. I used to have the same problem when I used them.

I haven't run into the taskbar issue with the screensaver, good call on a fix Brian.

FYI the icon pack is awesome dude but there is some file in one of the dll's that corrupts the sound (possible 5033.wav) the uninstall didn't fix this either. I will try and make a new pack with your files at some point have just use system restore to roll back before it was installed which fixes the problem. The Alien screen saver does that with my machine sometimes i just do the preview thing (i reckon it was made when Vista was around) Thanks for for the files Getfound

It's real easy to do.

1. Open regedit (Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER)

2. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation

3. Create the following three String Value entries

  1. Logo - Place a path to a 120x120 BMP image of your choice
  2. Manufacturer - Alienware
  3. Model - Your model here

4. Exit registry editor

I suggest we rename this thread to Alienware Windows Customizations - Restore Alienware's Look & Feel and sticky it.

Lots of good info here for those who reformat and want to keep the branded AW windows look.

How to replace the Windows 7 logon screen with a custom image:

As alternative to the background changer program... here's how you can do it manually:

- Put the picture you want to use in here:

C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds

The name of the picture must be
BackgroundDefault.jpg

- Open the registry editor (run, "regedit", enter)

- Navigate to

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

- Change the value of the "OEMBackground" entry to "1" (without the quotes). In case there's no such entry create a new DWORD with this name by right clicking inside the Background folder.

NOTE: The picture must be a .jpg and the size must be less than 256KB. The resolution doesn't matter as far as I know, Windows will automatically make the picture fit... but of course having the picture in the native display resolution will give you the best results.

^^ this happened to me as well, only didn't have any sound from speakers at all. The only way I could fix it was to system restore.
