Makes me think this is all connected some how i thought i had that stupid alienware software fixed but it started up again, could it be related to me removing that old Optical disk drive driver could it had shared some DLL or something that could have set all this in motion again. i would hate to have to install it again as i dont have that optical drive anymore and all that driver was for was to tell the slot load how to eject. and beings i did not have that i got the go ahead from dell alienware to remove it, but then this program started to act up again. The driver i removed i listed in another forum thread yesterday, it loaded a service to tell the drive like i said to eject.
