Intel Desktop Utility - CS Reinstall Instruction

Intel Desktop Utility has been causing a HangOnStartup condition since I installed it on Vista-32 more than 3 months ago, although it has been removed from the startup menu. apparently the problem was vista-incompatibilty.

the vista-incompatibility problem has since been addressed and Intel recently responded thus:

Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support.

Removing the Intel(R) Desktop Utilities from the Start-up menu does not quite help. Please, follow these steps, rather:

1. Remove the Intel(R) Desktop Utilities from Add/Remove Programs and/or Programs and Features (under Windows* Vista*).

2. Restart the system and go into BIOS by pressing <F2> during the boot process. Once in the BIOS setup utility, press <F9> to restore BIOS default settings. Reset any customized BIOS settings. Clear all DMI event logs, which are located in the Advanced/Event Log Configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility. Press <F10> to save the new settings and reboot the system.

3. Once the operating system completes loading up, proceed reinstalling the Intel(R) Desktop Utilities; for this, please, refer to the following URL where the latest version is found:

can clearing the bios's DMI event logs cause trouble? i have had cs's instructions cause problems!
