I am trying to install Intel Extreme Tuning Utility on the Alientware 17. However, I got this error "Service 'Intel(R) Extreme Utility Servicde' (XTU3SERVICE) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services." I have a dual graphics, One is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M and the Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600. I want to run the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on this laptop and the NVIDIA graphics card won't run on this one due to the error "Direct3d returned an error E_INVALIDARG! The application will now terminate.", and all methods do not work, so I will have to use the Intel one. It works fine but It is slower sometimes and I will need a overclocking program to work at full speed. However because of this error, I cannot. Can you help me how to get this thing installed on this laptop?</P> Wed, 01 Jul 2015 19:39:40 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-cannot-be-installed-on-Alienware-17/m-p/452854#M41384 BStro3 2015-07-01T19:39:40Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-cannot-be-installed-on-Alienware-17/m-p/452855#M41385 <P>Hello Zeromoon95,</P><P></P><P>The XTU would only work on an unlocked system, with an unlocked processor. </P><P>I checked the product information (<A href="http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-17/pd">http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-17/pd</A> <A href="http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-17/pd">http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-17/pd</A>) and I did not find anything that says that this is an unlocked system.
