Do you feel comfortable making a small change in your Registry?
If so, press WinKey+R, type regedit and press Enter.
In the left pane, browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\COH
On the right side, look for the key enableHWLights and double click it.
Change the 0 to a 1 and click OK.
Exit regedit (either File -> Exit or clicking the red X). The next time you start CoH, it should enable the AlienFX immediatly.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Hi,
So CoH now has the ability to adjust the Alienware vanity lights based on your character's alignment. Alienware has these pretty lights all over their systems such as an illuminated keyboard, lights around the monitor edge, lighted Alienware logo, etc.
Okay. Nifty.
Is there any way to disable this for the entire game?
When you start up CoH, all the system AlienFX lighting shuts off completely. Including when you are trying to type in your login information. Which is a problem is you game in an darkened environment, like when I turn down the lights in my apartment so as to not disturb the roommates at night. Previously this wasn't an issue, since my keyboard has a nice backlight making all the letters glow. That backlight now shuts off with the rest of the lights.
Currently, you can disable it per character, but that setting only takes effect AFTER you log into that character.
Needless to say, trying to type in a complicated password when you can barely see anything is annoying.
