Hey Braal,
I have an Alienware m17x (RC1) and I have no problems with AlienFX so far, actually I am digging the interaction with CoH a lot! I guess you can still access the game, play it and change options.
Just for testing purposes, why don’t you try to switch off AlienFX inside game? Go to Menu -> Options -> Graphics and Audio -> AlienFX -> Light Control and switch it to “Disable”. Exit game to desktop, log again and see what happens. If the keyboard lights are fine, then you can re-enable AlienFX ingame (exit and log back). Maybe this will do.
Alternatively, you can switch on/off AlienFX from the keyboard (in mine is Fn + F11), maybe it will fix it too...
If none of those options work, we can try to re-install the AlienFX program, but let’s try those first.
I hope that helps!

Unfortunately none of that helped at all. I did notice however that sometimes when I press the control key, the keyboard lights seem to flash the correct color for a split second, then back to Loyalist yellow. It seems to be working properly for the moment, but I'm not sure if it well continue to work properly once I alt.|

Edit: It seems to be working relatively fine now, out of literally nowhere. The keyboard light seems to flicker faintly every now and then, so I'm not sure if it's fixed or just working for the moment.
Edit 2: And now it's back to the way described above.
I'm using an Alienware M11x laptop. I've never really had problems with City of Heroes before on this laptop. However, since Thursday, whenever I log in and pick my server, it takes several seconds longer for the screen to change to the character selection screen, and when it does, the lights on my laptop become a jumble of colors, instead of one single change to all lighting areas. My power button stays as I have it set outside of the game. The keyboard changes to the Loyalist yellow. The Alienware logo just below the screen goes Hero white. The lights on the front of the laptop? Resistance blue. I haven't installed/updated anything recently, and have absolutely no idea how to fix this rather annoying little bug. I'm unsure if it's a CoX problem or an AlienFX problem, or both. Any help will be appreciated, but try to keep it simple. I'm not horribly tech-savvy, nor do I know many technical terms for computers.I would have posted pictures to make it easier to understand my problem, but I haven't a camera currently.
