Hi

I appreciate this was posted some time ago, but I have recently also
had this problem on my new Dell Vostro 1000, running vista home premium.
Exactly the same annoying error messages appear at start up and I have
no idea why or where they have come from. Any ideas (other than
removing Dell Support Centre, because a previous entry suggested this
was of no use) would be very much appreciated!!.


You're posting from one of those websites that looks like a forum but is
really just scraping Usenet posts. This means that because you didn't
quote any of the previous messages in the thread, no one knows what
"exactly the same annoying error messages" are. It would be far better
if you set up a newsreader to access these groups (easy to do), and I'll
give you information about that below.

In the meantime, you need to provide full details about your problem so
we can help you. See the "How to Post" section in the information below.
