Fatal UI Error
When I select Schedule Automatic Search, there is a popup message:
Dell Repository Manager Fatal Ui Error
Dell Repository Manager has encountered an error
Current installed version 1.5.0
This is from the log file which may provide a clue...
xmlns="03http://schemas.microsoft.com/2004/06/windows/eventlog/system"> 0 3 Name="Error">0 2 GRAHAMD-LENOVO ApplicationLoader.CurrentDispatcherUnhandledException: Message: SelectedDate value is not valid.

Thanks GD for posting the problem! We have identified this as an issue with version 1.5.0 and will provide a fix in next release.
DRM creates a Windows Scheduler task behind the scenes to perform automatic search of Dell update files. The reported error can occur when you open "Schedule Automatic Screen" when the trigger Start date on the Scheduler task happens to be a past date.
A workaround to the problem is simply to change the Start Date on the Windows Task to a future date. Steps for the workaround:
1. launch Windows Task Scheduler from Programs Menu
2. Navigate and click on "Task Scheduler library" node on left pane
3. Search for a task that is named as "DellRepositoryManagerDataCenterVersion-FindNewUpdates-...". This is a Windows Task that DRM created.
4. Open the Properties dialog for this task.
5. Jump to the Triggers tab. Here you should see one trigger that you specified using DRM. Edit this trigger and change the "Start" date to a future time.
6. Once the "Start" date has changed, re-launch DRM to make any changes to Automatic Search.
Hope that helps!
