NotifyAlert.exe failed to initialize
For the past 3 days, I've gotten the following message:
NotifyAlert.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.
I first thought this was a new program I installed recently, so I uninstalled it completely. The message still appeared each morning. Today I decided to find out what this NotifyAlert.exe was.
It turns out it's part of my Dell Support application. Located in c:\Program Files\Dell\Support\Alert\bin
Any ideas on what has caused this program to start failing? And on what I might do to correct it?
Thanks...

I tried removing the items from the start up folder (as you suggested)... Didn't work. So I pulled out my Dell Support CD's and attempted to re-install the Notify Alert application. I then rebooted and didn't see the message pop up this time. However, about 3 hours later, there it was...
What problems might occur if I completely remove the C:\Program Files\Dell\Support\Alert\bin directory?
Thanks,
Peter

Hello,
I have also experienced the NotifyAlert.exe Application Error message when I get to my PC in the morning. I have Windows XP Pro.
What does this program do?
Thanks,
- I have the same problem. In addition, I get the same message when attempting other functions related to Dell programs. For instance from "Start -> Dell Solution Center -> My Dell -> My Computer Information" I get them same error in "ClientApplicationFramework.exe" (same with "Start -> Dell Solution Center -> Support -> Dell Support"). Interesting enough, this all started after I installed the "RPC Patch" from Microsoft that prevents the latest virus (commonly referred to as the W32.Blaster.Worm). I suspect the patch changed something in the Remote Procedure Call that these Dell programs no longer like. Any thoughts from Dell???

I'm glad I found this thread. I've gone over my system several times trying to find what Notifyalert might be. The error in my case seems to have started after I downloaded the MS patch. Hope someone comes up with a Dell patch.
- Having same problem. Noticed that if I click on Dell Support icon, I get warning that the MS .Net framework runtime has not been installed. Aftner noticing that this was causing horrendous startup time for my machine, I uninstalled it. Perhaps that is the cause. In any case, I would rather get the warning than the horrendous startup time. If anyone figures this out, please post. This is annyoing to say the least after having my pc only a week.

I am getting that annyoing NotifyAlert.exe message too. I'm getting a second message as well, though I don't remember it off the top of my head. I find it interesting that it's taking Dell so long to respond with a fix. I would love to have a response quickly on this issue, as it's been driving me nuts (and apparently a lot of other people too)!PeterElsner

Well, since I couldn't get any answers from Dell (either from this forum or while talking to them on the phone), I simply uninstalled the Dell Support package... So far I have not seen the "NotifyAlert.exe" error message. It would be nice to re-install this program, but since the MS Patch (remember Microsoft does it better) prevents this from working, re-installing it isn't going to help until an update from Dell fixes the MS bug...

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum (DCF).
You can reinstall the Dell application(s)from the Dell backups CD or find that shortcut in the start up group and delete it.
* Click Start- Run
* Type MSCONFIG [press the Enter key]
* Insert the dot to Normal Startup
* Click Apply- OK (Don't restart the system)
* Right-click the [Start] button
* Left-click Open
* Double-click Programs
* Double-click Startup (Everything you see in the start up group is actually running all the time, which just takes away from your resources)
* Move ALL the icons in the Startup box to the desktop. Here is how too move the icons:
* Right-click the icon [hold the button down]
* Drag the icon out of the Start Up box
* Let go on the desktop
* Left-click "Move Here")
* After you have moved all the icons onto the desktop, close all the boxes
* Click Start- Shutdown- Restart- OK or Click Start- Turn Off Computer- Restart
