It turns out the D4 is Dimension 4 which is actually a clock-sync program. http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4/ The culprit was the Dell Support DS Agent. Disabled that and the modem warning is gone. I think I'm finally caught up. I even had time to clone and drop in a new HD on my wife's PC. Thanks for all your help!! Joe
