For week they said it was asupport assist issue. then they tried fixinib it and doing what they could to fix the harware scan on support assist failing every tim since i have updated to the newest version but now since they can ot fix the issue and saying I am the only one which is not true having this issue They say it is DLL issue and need to reinstall the operating system.

apparently there is no fix you already tried and said it was a dll issue. And that the only option is a reinstall that is out of the question

so apparently Dell is done with me. for good now. Like i asked before you told me repeatedly that the problem was with the support assist app not my computer, So how come now the only solution is a reinstall. If it not my computer like you sid time after time hten why now is a reinstall needed . does each app or program have its own Dll .. if it were my computer would not all dlls be corrupt and you would see violations on sfc scan now which there were not any and why then when i run other hardware scans does it pass. it has to be the app and from what i am seeing others are also having the problem I am sure they are not doing or have done a complete reinstall. So please do not tell me it is my computer ok . thanks for all the help and all the trying

Hello Mary,

Thank you, we received your email, thank you for sharing the details with us. we have checked with the information that you have shared.

We have tried the follwing steps so that we can resolve the issue but unfortunatly we were unable to do that as its an issue with one off the DLL file.

6. Once the services are deleted, check if the following folders remain. If they remain, delete them:
Folder: "C:\ProgramData\PCDr\"
Folder: "C:\ProgramData\SupportAssist"
Delete, Rename or drag the DellDataVault folder to the desktop, you will not be able to delete it: "C:\Program Files\Dell\DellDataVault"

7. Reboot the system and install the Support Assist application.

Obviously all those can not fail together, just a fluke and nothing is wrong with the hardware

Release Static charge and run the test again : disconnect charger while powered on and hold the power button down for 30 seconds, keep holding it even after it powers off. Run the test again,



else reinstall support.

Don't run Support Assist on a brand new computer. Ignore that message.

As they correctly said, you need to reinstall. NOT a Dell mistake.

 

[Neemobeer]

A reinstall of SA would technically fix any DLL issues.

 

[Marytheknees]

well i am not going to reinstall the entire operating system

As they correctly said, you need to reinstall. NOT a Dell mistake.

because i can not get a hardware issue to work on support assist
I ran sfc

[Marytheknees]

[davehc]

My suggestion was only based on your first post. It did look like you have more problems than those concerned with a single program

 

[Marytheknees]

[Marytheknees]
