Hello David / TJ,

Did your problem just start in the last week or so? I only ask because, 
according to TJ's link below, notifyalert.exe is part of the Dell Support 
app. I have Dell Support on my computer, and I know they just sent out an 
automatic upgrade of this program, via the internet, about a week ago. The 
upgrade required no action by the user. Possibly the installation of this 
upgrade was faulty and messed something up? Which version does your computer 
show? The new version on my computer is v5.0.0.766. Just athought...

Steve
