This difficulty can occur if the Dell Dock executable file is either not there in the startup list or it does not work. As a first step to see if the computer is in normal startup mode. Booting in safe mode and try this step. Safe mode is a troubleshooting option for Windows to start the computer in a limited state. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows is started. The words Safe Mode in the corners of your monitor to identify the mode of Windows you are using.

Go to Start, All Programs. Look for the "Dell" folder. Open and click on the Dell Dock. To ensure that you have it when it starts, right-click an empty spot on the Dell Dock. Go to Advanced Options. Check "Run at startup." I'm not sure where you can find information about Google Desktop (because I uninstalled the Dell default one). Just open the Start menu and search "Google." Right-click the executable. Open. Then close the program. When asked to confirm the closing, make sure that you want to start with Windows. If you use the Windows Sidebar, search for "sidebar" and click it when it appears. Right-click a blank space and go to Properties. Verify that you want to run with Windows.
