Dell Media Experience Folder opens when I log on

[gomer309]

Windows XP, IE 7, have all the latest downloads/updates.  Recently installed Dell Support Center which seems to be okay, but now when I restart or log on to my computer it opens a window for Dell Media Experience, which it never did before.

I'm a novice, don't know where to look to have this turned off or not happen.   It's not the end of the world, i simply close it and move about my business, but i was
just curious.

I tried the dell site but they weren't all that much help.

Thanks for listening.

Go Start<Run, type in:
msconfig
Hit Enter.
Click on Startup tab.
Look for:
PCMService.exe entry
Remove checkmark.
Click OK.

Thanks for the info, i'll go see what i can find.  Didn't see that particular
entry pcmservice.exe in my startup list, but maybe i'm just not seeing it.

I tried to copy what was there out to this post, but it wouldn't let me.
so i'll keep looking.

thanks again.
