Windows Diagnostic Infrastructure (WDI) is a collection of diagnostic tools that can help find the source of many common disk, memory and network problems. In addition, it can warn you of impending failures so you can either react to fix them, or at least save your data while you can. The Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) is a component of WDI. DPS coordinates diagnostic modules used in the problem detection, troubleshooting, and resolution process. If you don’t find any value in Vista’s diagnostic features you can disable this service, though any application that makes use of it may then not function correctly.

No-one gave a reply, and noone could help anywhere, which was not good, in the end I rang the company of the make of the laptop, and had to reinstall everything.
