    This is probably off topic but I have looked all over and been unable to find anyone else having this problem so I decided to put it here first. Has anyone else had this problem, where the "My Dell Downloads" pops up from the system tray? Then when I tell it not to remind me it still comes up. So I allowed it to take me to visit my Dell downloads and then it says my computer is already regisered! Gee ya think :rolleyes: ?! And yet it still keeps popping up, making me crazy mad about how dumb this is. before I waste time and call Dell any ideas how I can put a stop to this nonsense short of a format, :eek: !

    Had same problem. It stopped after the first week or so. I don't remember disabling it.
