Area-51 AAT2250, wallpaper
Anyone know where I can find the wallpaper that shipped with this unit? I had to do a factory restore and as I suspected it did not restore the machine to the state it was when delivered. Obviously they customize these machines when building them and that customization is lost during a factory restore.
In the meantime I'm trying to install some apps from the downloads area like the Alienware Command Center and it just hangs during installation.

@DELL-Chris M is the wallpaper master, so I am sure he will update that thread with the wallpaper you are looking for.

I'm beginning to think it's a "theme" instead of just wallpaper. Because some of the Windows had subtle color differences - for things like the window title bar.
It was a dark them with a mountain ridge and the alien in the middle of the image.

Sorry for the delay, been busy with the recovery and getting everything working. What's the best upload method, individual images?

@DELL-Chris M - There are two sets it seems.
c:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Alienware\ - that seemed to come along in the recovery to factory defaults.
c:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\dell\ - this is the wallpaper in use when I first powered up the machine and did not come back in the restore process. Fortunately I imaged the original partition before starting over. Then it was just a matter of comparing the two to find the missing wallpaper.

@DELL-Chris M
Ok, in your last post referencing your other post from 2018, the first 'here' URL...
https://na.alienwarearena.com/wallpapers
On that page, Alienware Dreamscape is the original wallpaper mine came with. But I have several variations of it as listed in my prior post.
