    I bought a new Dell yesterday, and it has the usual amount of rubbish pre loaded on it.

    Ive sorted most of it out, however for some reason this window keeps coming up everytime I boot.

    Nothing in the add/remove programs section shows any programs called Sonic so I cant just uninstall it.
    I wasnt given a sonic disk with the system. Im not even sure what sonic is!

    Id appreciate your advice! Its annoying because you have to click close 5 or 6 times to get rid of it!

    As an administrator, go to start>run, then type in msconfig and press enter. Go to the startup tab and deselect all programs you don't want to load at startup.

    Sonic is software for CD and DVD drives and installed on many current Dells .....

    Have you an actual question or just dragging up a two year old post with a blank reply (twice) for the hell of it? :confused:
