Dell Support Center Error 1706

Help!

 

I have had no problems with Dell Support Center until about a week ago.  Now, every time I boot my desktop it tries to automatically install Dell Support Center.  I did not ask to do this.

 

I receive an error in the install process indicating Dell Support Center (Support Software) can not find dellsupportscentrism. The dialog box refers to this as a network resource.

 

When I cancel the install I receive "Error 1706 No valid source could be found for product Dell Support Center (Support Software).  The Windows installer can not continue."

I searched for dellsupportscentrism on my drives and it does not exist.

I tried uninstalling Dell Support Center and the uninstall fails.

I tried reinstalling Dell Support Center and the install fails because it can not uninstall.

 

I called Dell, they poked around in my PC and recommended I reinstall Windows XP.  Wrong answer from my perspective. 

 

Can anyone help?  This is very frustrating.

 

Thanks,
