Sonic Activation Module

I just purchased the Dell Dimension XPS600 and after doing some software clean-up in add/remove I am now getting an error on cold boot "Sonic Activation Module" "please insert disk-1.
 
 I tried browsing all the software I received with my system and can not find the file it is looking for. If I open task manager I can "End Task" and everything is fine, but I want to clean it up and cant find anything in either (MSConfig,Startup, Add/Remove or via registry search for SONIC)  It is driving me nuts and I dont want to run a full restore after taking a week to customize my box.
 
 Does anyone know of a removal tool or reg cleaner that will fix this specific problem, or has anyone encountered the issue on a new Dell system?

    try this.

    Go to Start and Run.
    Type in MSCONFIG
    Go to the Startup Tab on the right.
    Disable the following 2 items in the list. uncheck

    ISUSPM
    ISSCH

    Click Apply and the Close - When prompted to do so Restart the System.

    Then on restart, just check the System Config Utility box that says 'Don't show this again' and you're done.

    Just wanted to say thanks - I have been trawling for weeks now to find the answer.  I spoke to Dell, who had decided it was time for me to completely restore my system, I am so glad I found this message, and it saved me loads of trouble.


    Worked perfectly!

     

    Thanks

    I still cannot get mine to work.  I followed the instructions exactly and it keeps wanting me to insert the disk.  This is really frustrating!

    The message is gone after I disabled those two drivers. However, when I start the application InstallShield v8, the message comes again.
