Hi Carol.OK, get Auslogics BoostSpeed and use the startup manager which will give you more information about all your startup processes. Whilst your at it, you can run a one button checkup to optimize your systems speed and performance. I use this program all the time and it is like a technicians toolbox. One click fix it all solutions never work.
All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Not showing there ... but definitely running. I looked under services and there's nothing that starts with DELL and only one thing that doesn't that I haven't a clue about ...-- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxOn Tuesday, April 28, 2009 3:03 PM (UK time), Ibrahim Gucukoglu at ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx said:Hi Carol. You'll need to launch msconfig by typing the above in to the run dialog box. Under startup you'll have a list of programs loading at startup, find it in there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 3:00 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Del SoftwareWhat's the best way to disable that thing then, Tris. I get sick of it crashing ... It's the only problem I really have with my DELL, apart from the fact that I still haven't got to the bottom of why the Eset Smart Security doesn't update automatically, as is the case with the other two computers in the house. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Tuesday, April 28, 2009 11:04 AM (UK time), Tristram Llewellyn at tristram.llewellyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx said:I disabled a Dell Support Centre from starting on a Dell machine yesterday without incident if that is of any help. I agree with George and Steve though that a certain degree of circumspection should be applied to something that decribes itself as a "Driver Reset Tool". Like others I can only sympathise with the dilemma that all this extra stuff places the user in. With a Sony machine of mine I took a far more extreme (and a little costly) position of removing the Windows it came with and getting a OEM of the same. However you do not escape scott free because you then find some things don't work and that special DVD viewing software or whatever licensed specifically to the laptop is not available for download but only through the recovery CD. However in my case once the essential drivers were reinstalled the equation seemed to balance in favour of the new windows and lighter install. Dell in the USA had an option where you could pay a little more and get a PC without the bloatware. I haven't brought anything from Dell recently, perhaps they don't do that here. Regards.
