Why Can't I run the PC Hardware diagnostics test on my computer, get Invalid URI error msg

I wanted to do the Hardware diagnostics test on my Inspiron 1545 running Win7/64 and when it asks to check for service tag and I click "accept", it downloads the dell system detect application (does it have to do that every time or can it use the same download the next time? and it does just say temporary, so does it delete itself when it's done, or do I have to manually delete it?, If I could even get it to work?) My problem is.... when I go to open that download, it says it is unzipping the files, and then the next msg says: Application can not be started. Contact the application vendor (Who IS the application vendor? I'm assuming they mean Dell??)

and then two boxes,, to either click "ok" or "details." When I click on details, I get this invalid URI msg below: (I'm wondering what that means? and why it can't even check my computer for the service tag? Is it a registry error or something? And is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I did realize that I was still in the Opera browser when I tried to run the application, and Dell prefers IE, would that make any difference though on the download or why the scan wouldn't work?)

Hi Tessla62,

I would recommend you to use Internet Explorer. In case you face the same error, try resetting Internet  Explorer.

To reset the Internet Explorer settings:

  • Close any Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer windows that are currently open
  • Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Internet Explorer
  • Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options
  • Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset
  • Select the Delete personal settings check box if you would like to remove browsing history, search providers, Accelerators, home pages, and InPrivate Filtering data
  • In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset
  • When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, click Close
  • Click OK

I would recommend you to run the on-board diagnostics (outside windows) using the below mentioned steps to check the system hardware functionality.

To run the on-board Diagnostics:

  • Power off the computer
  • Restart the computer, press F12 on the Dell logo
  • Select ‘Diagnostics’ from the boot menu
  • Please refer to the link if any error code shows up http://dell.to/OUGnqT

Please reply if you have any questions.
