    As the title says.

    Whenever I go on task manager, I see Dell Premier Color at the top of the list hogging over 4gb of memory. I have no idea what this program does, but considering nothing happens when I end it, do I even need this application?

    No, but I am sure you can find out what it does with this thing called google. It's quite popular :)

    I already googled this. The google result listed fixes which I've already tried, but didn't work.

    What I want to know is, can I just uninstall this application without any consequences? Does my XPS need it? I'd rather just save time and remove it instead of trying to find other methods to fix it.

    My short answer maybe was shorter than necessary but it is just a colour management program so of course you can remove it.
