So, what do I do now?

Is there another way to show it to you?

Well I press control and prnt scrn at the same time.
Then I open up paint or word, etc and paste it there. and then I save it.

Here is the file thing for the start up screenshot I'm trying to show you:

C:\Documents and Settings\Krista Depp\My Documents\startup.rtf

MS Paint is fine to paste the screenshot, but MS Word is not (rtf is just Rich Text Format).
Paste it into Paint, and save the file as .jpeg, or .gif
Then upload.

Ok. I think it worked put the picture isn't as clear anymore.

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all

Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.

Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.

NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

Same problem?

[Chargergirl2010]

Well this is what happened.
I did what you said.
And restarted.
The pop-up was gone, but my internet wouldn't come up.
It kept giving me the message about the configuration settings.
So then I re-enabled everything you said to disable.
And restarted.
My internet came back and so did the pop-up.

And maybe this picture is more clearer.

Download, and install Dell ControlPoint Connection Manager: http://support.dell....nt?docid=342250

[Chargergirl2010]

So it was almost done or something and it said it couldn't continue because it is already installed.

Try here: http://windowsxp.mvp.../dellfolder.htm

I tried that before I came here.
The second part it shows for the quotes to be put at, the dellsupport one. Dellsupport isn't on the list for that one so i can't put the quotes.

I don't get why this has to be so complicated.

Thank you very much for helping me so far.

what should I do next?

[Chargergirl2010]

ok, well I went to add/remove programs and I removed Dell Support. Then I re-followed what you sent me before and reinstalled DellSupport and it let me this time.

Open Autoruns again, and UN-check:
- Broadcom Wireless Manager
- MemoryCardManager
Restart computer.

Note. This is only for testing purposes. If after restarting, pop-up is still there, put both checkmarks back.

[Chargergirl2010]

Ok, the pop-up is gone. Do I leave those unchecked still?

[Broni]

Good
Just remember these two:
- Broadcom Wireless Manager
- MemoryCardManager
you unchecked, in case something doesn't work.
I'm pretty sure, you don't need MemoryCardManager as a startup, but I'm not sure about Broadcom Wireless Manager.
If any problem, you can always put checkmark(s) back.
