I get an uninstaller error on login / A previous version already installed error when I try to down load 2.0 - which is installed but no functionalityand add remove doesn't work/ I got tired of a lack of support - so I renamed the .exe file with a different name dell support.exe is now dell support.exe.xyz and then ran Registery Mechanic and that stopped the dell_support_center is installing error messages. I can live without DSC but the error messages - which - kept recurring on startup and during use were a major pain - Good luck finding a solution Dell - J

To easily uninstall DSC when it says it is being used by another program or service is to stop the process in Task Manager/Processes , then it can be removed Ok .

The problem with DSC seems to be there for ages now. Still there is no solution from DELL. Is it time for every one to move on? I think the corner shop vendors give better sevice than DELL.

I see that several people have the same problrm with Dell Support Center where the message "Please wait while Dell Support Center setup process completes," but it never completes! Is there a fix to this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled this program over a dozen times and still haven't gotten past this point.

Dell support center does not display any information like service tag about the system. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times. I did a clean boot and have tried installing it. still the same. Iam not sure what is causing this problem. Do any one have any idea about this.

Further to my comments on May 23rd, Windows Defender no longer asks me about PCD5SRVC.pkms, however it appears that the damage is done...blue screen at start-up and a computer that is now probably at least 5 times slower than before all these DSC complications arose. Will be uninstalling...

How annoying has that been - having that popping up everytime you bootup. Thanks for the tip about un-installing dell support centre. Working again brill now. Thanks again. Sam

I am getting the same issue as Dave (23-05-08) with Windows Defender.....Very Annoying!!!

Anyone got any ideas as to why Windows Defender wants to check on PCD5SRVC.PKMS EVERY time I boot up?

I am having the same issue as Dave and this is getting annoying.. The only difference is that My computer does it about every 4 hours, regardless if it is restarted, Windows Defender keeps asking about PCD5SRVC.pkms... I have installed the new version, but the problem persists.. Even more than before..

I have successfully removed the old DSC and downloaded the new one but why does Windows Defender keep asking me if I want to allow PCD5SRVC.PKMS. It makes no difference if I allow or deny access, each time I switch on my computer Windows Defender asks me the same question.
