HPSF.exe has stopped working. Uninstalling and reinstalling has not worked. What else to try

HPSF.exe has stopped working.  Have uninstalled and uninstalled numerous times  and has not worked.  Desktop is not month old yet.  When I first got it sleep mode would not work.  Every time it would go to sleep it would crash.  I finally did a refresh and that problem went away.  I do not want to do another refresh as a number of the windows updates did not want to install and I had to troubleshoot them.  Is there another fix to the support assistant or do I just manually check monthly for updates.  Also is there a place I can get online chat cupport for my new computer while it is under warranty?

HP Support Assistant is very problematic especially in Windows 8.  It works on some and not others, nobody knows why yet.  It is a useless piece of software anyway IMHO and I would uninstall it.  If you concern is updates, suggest doing it manually as you wish.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

  • Windows error: iTunes crashes (uninstall and reinstall does not work)

    Hello all.
    I (and another user) have had a problem with iTunes crashing when trying to open it. Windows just generates the typical vague error message that explains nothing as to what the problem is. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work, and using the "Repair" option did not work either.
    This was the solution. Hope it works for you. Cheers.
    C ;o)
    Here are the steps, some might be redundant, but still follow them to try and get iTunes to work.
    1. *Extremely important* Close the QuickTime launcher in the tray on the right side of your Windows TaskBar (right-click on the blue QuickTime "Q" logo next to where you have the time and date and select "exit".) The QuickTime logo should disappear from the tray.
    2. Go to where your iTunes library folder is, copy it and put it elsewhere on yoour hard-drive. This is where you asked your iTunes to point to and keeps the full repository of the files sync'ed to your iPod. If you don't do this, you will have to re-create the full library of all the music and files you have put into iTunes.
    3. Unistall iTunes and reboot your PC.
    4. Go to c:\Program Files\Quicktime and delete this whole folder.
    5. Go to c:\Windows\System 32 and: delete the Quicktime FOLDER there; then (ii) scroll down and delete all other QuickTime related files (there should be 5-10 of them, I didn't count, some will have a name like QuickTMvr whatever).
    6. Empty Recycle Bin.
    7. Reboot your PC.
    8. Go back to Apple Website and download: iTunes, and (ii) QuickTime installation only (without iTunes).
    9. Install QuickTime FIRST (use newly downloaded version)! Check it works OK by opening it.
    10. Close QuickTime lanucher from tray, as explained above in step 1.
    11. Install iTunes (use the newly downloaded version).
    12. Open iTunes. If it opens fine (clap your hands and say "hurray", and actually I said out loud to my PC, "Please work" and it did - I don't know if this step helped at all. ;o) ), then close iTunes FIRST BEFORE DOING THE NEXT STEP. Go to where the new iTunes (and library) folder is, rename the new iTunes folder (as you might notice when/if you open iTunes, that it is all blank), and copy the old iTunes folder (from step 2) to the same location. Re-open iTunes. It should be the way it opened the last time.

    Btw.
    Don't forget that, from my experience, most iTunes errors comes from malfunctioning instances of QuickTime.

  • After successful installation of iTunes 10.6.1, iTunes will not open.  Tried complete uninstall and reinstall, still not working.  Cannot sync iPad or access iTunes at all.  Any suggestions?

    After successfully installing the iTunes upgrade to 10.6.1, Now I cannot open and access itunes.  I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is still not working. I have looked through many support communities for answers.  I added an iPad 2 almost a year ago and all was fine until my upgrade to the "cloud services" and upgrade to new version.  I have been without iTunes on my PC for a month.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

  • I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom.  We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it.  Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

    I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom.  We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it.  Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

    Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
    Just a guess.

    Hello congratulations for the work you have been developing. The apple support has helped me greatly improve my Mac and better understand some applications. Recently my iPhoto has given me problems and I do not realize what is happening. When I double click a photo it does not appear ... or rather the background is black and only the zoom window appears. How to solve this? I've done a restoration of the library, but the problem remains. Thanks and good job.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    Hi sayla,
    When you reloaded your software did you do a clean reload (deleting all data)? http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
    If so, you might try doing a resettofactory using the following instructions. http://bit.ly/fMW9I4 This will reset to factory default.

  • Just installed itunes but when i try to open it this error message pops up: "apple application support required." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works

    Just installed itunes but when i try to open it this error message pops up: "apple application required" then it suggests uninstalling and reinstalling which i've done a few times but nothing works

    When you say you have tried everything, it would help if you told us what you have tried to avoid duplication.
    When you installed iTunes did you get any error messages?
    Anyway, on the face of it it may be worth trying a separate install of Apple application support.
    Uninstall iTunes again. Now open Apple Software update, assuming it is working.
    It should offer to download iTunes. Don't do it yet, go to the Tools menu and select Download only.
    Then download iTunes. Then go to the tools menu again and select Open download folder and you should see a collection of six files.
    Before going on, can you get to this stage OK?
    One further thing I would like you to check, are you ahving any problems with Windows updates? Could you check in Windows Update to see if there are any failures.

  • Can't open any applications in CS5 once one has closed without uninstalling and reinstalling

    I have had CS5 Design Premium installed on my iMac for a little over a year. I got the graphics card replaced roughly two weeks ago and since then have had problems with CS5. None of the CS5 programs would open when I got the graphics card fixed so I uninstalled and reinstalled the entire suite from the disc. All the programs worked fine until I closed one down. Once I close a program and try to open another or reopen the same one I get the agreement page up. I click accept and it just keeps putting the agreement up again to accept. I have to uninstall and reinstall the entire suite again from disc in order to use any of the programs! Can someone please help? This is driving me crazy!!!

    Hello,
    Well, your Mac's situation sounds pretty vague. So, I'd recommend a little general troubleshooting, starting with verifying and possibly repairing your "Home" hard-disk volume.
    This will explain how it's done http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Follow the six-part process under "Try Disk Utility."
    You can also run alot of system opimization tools with this free and nifty program called Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html

  • Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

    I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.
