Hi Kelevra, It seems the application has gone corrupt.  You may uninstall the quickset utility for Inspiron 1520, using software like Revo Uninstaller. Although, Dell has not tested or endorse it.  Please ensure to create a system restore point as suggested by natakuc4. Please share weather you have replaced just the processor or the complete motherboard. Keep me posted with the results. I will be glad to assist further. [NAME]: Thank you for the inputs; appreciate it.
I hope I've come to the right place for this. I have an interesting issue that I've been unable to resolve. I have an Inspiron n5030, but the hard drive that I'm using was one that came out of an Inspiron 1520. The power supply went out on it again, so I can't just plug it back in and remove the program in question. Since this hard drive came out of the 1520, it has that systems Quickset utility installed still. Is there any way I can remove the quickset utility without having to reinstall windows?   Not sure if this is of any importance to the issue, but my specs are: Inspiron N5030, Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, 3 GB ram, Intel T7250 2.0 GHz (no, this is not the processor that came with the 5030, I just liked it better so I pulled it out of the 1520)
Need help removing Quickset.
