This started happening to me last night while I was streaming a movie! Most inconvenient....kept taking me off full screen. I noticed that at 3:00 am on 2/8/2012 I received updates and one of them was Dell Support Center!!! Looking to uninstall udates, the update was not on the list as an update, however in programs it says Dell Support Center was installed on 2/8/2012. Looks like I got a whole new program installed at 3:00 am that doesn't work properly! Checked out Dell's website to see if a download was available before uninstalling and reinstalling Support Center but there appears to be no download available. Tried a system restore but it doesn't work either because I am supposed to disable my anitvirus......how do you do that??? Not looking forward to streaming movies anytime soon....can someone help???
