Open regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services and look if you can find a service with the name DIMS.

Most times when we can't find something on google, its usually because we are using the wrong search terms. So a single search may not give you any answers. You need to look at what you do find and try different terms. It might seem like some magic trick!
