    The previous owner had W8 on it, I didnt like it so used the factory discs I got to put W7 back on

    But after installing, the graphics card's not right (has a GTX555m), as I only has 2 settings ie 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 also Alien FX isnt there, so cant adjust the keyboard setting/colours ect

    I did a clean install of W7 from the factory disc and that's when the trouble started....anyone know what's happened ?

    You gotta install the drivers in the right order to start with. As far as for GFX you first have to install Intel drivers, then NVIDIA ones.
    For AlienFX to work you have to download and install Alienware Command Center from the DELL website.

    Thanks chaps..

    I went into Dells site, put my service tag in and a few drivers that have to be installed

    It said

    Filterd drivers results for the service tag (13 files)

    All related drivers (34 files)


    Will need to install all 47 of these?

    Alienware Command center is not.

    The drivers yes, they should be. But the drivers disc doesn't give you the exact order, sadly.
    The filtered drivers on the dell website might not show everything, so you might need to hit show all and browse for the correct drivers you need.

    Since you have a GTX555 I'm assuming you have an m14x r1, so try following this link: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&docid=439238
