I keep getting blue screen and error message to remove this file from system. spooldr.sys

HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - G510n    w/operating system     Windows XP Professional
I installed the printer in February and the disk did not finalize the setup process.  I went online and
down loaded the drivers and software that was offered from the HP website.
The printer works, but as the months have gone along, I keep getting updates for the printer and
the system needs to reboot and it does automatically.
Now I am getting a blue screen with a critical dump error message.  HP error reporting keeps sending
the same message back to restore to earlier date before the updates.  That worked for awhile.  Now
HP Error system says that malware has corrupted and needs to remove system file     spooldr.sys
Is this in your driver software.  Spooldr is the system that caches pages of data for printing in chronological
order....
Can I uninstall my software and drivers and change to the plain & simple, print and scan to prevent the
spool driver from loading to my system?

Thank you for your input.  But, It is amazing that you can tell me that I was infected with  rootkit. 
Without information as to how to fix, your information is after the fact and useless.
I used the Safety Scanner provided to me by HP.  A full scan didn't detect any Malware in any files on my system.  But the last screen dump provided the information that   spooldr.sys  was corrupted and  needed
to be removed.  
Coming into HP Form, I did read on the HP website that my system Windows XP Professional was not listed
and noted that the software may have not been just what I needed.  This was the reason for the question
about uninstalling and reinstalling less of the program.  I really don't need my printer to print backward and
that is all I see that it is doing that other printers don't.
Besides, Kudos goes to the person from HP who sent the email,  suggesting I used the HP Update software and drives recommended  for my computer system.  Computer, printer is working, back to normal and hasn't taken a dump since, I uploaded  software and drives for Windows XP Professional.

  • Iphone 5 keeps getting blue screen and turning off, and wont go bk on

    my iphone 5 keeps getting blue screen, turning off and not going bk on for a few hours then it comes on ive reset phone  works then it starts doing same problem over again

    Hey there aussiekris,
    It sounds like your phone is unexpectedly turning off. I suggest the troubleshooting steps outlined in this article named:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Touchsmart PC 300-1120 Blue screen and error messages

    My computer turns on and I can access the internet however it will all of sudden kick me off the internet and a blue screen appears that says:  Kernel_data-Inpage-Error and then advises me to remove any new hardware or software.  When I hit enter it goes to a black screen and another message comes up that says Reboot and Select proper boot device but when you hit enter it just repeats and you cannot get out.  Won't even allow me to ctrl-alt-delete to shut down.  Only thing I can do is pull the plug.
    Anybody know what sort of error these could be and what can be wrong?  The only new software is Adobe Reader update and looks like Microsoft updates recently.

    Hello Sydberry,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I have read your post on how your computer enters into a blue screen event, and I would be happy to assist you! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions: 
    What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop computer?
    What version of Windows do you have installed on your computer?
    Has your computer completed all of its important Windows Updates?
    Have you updated your HP drivers using the HP Support Assistant?
    Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
    Is your anti-virus software up to date?
    Is the BIOS on your computer up to date?
    In the meantime, I recommend following this document on BSOD Kernel Data Inpage Error. This should help identify the root of the blue screen event in relation to kernel error.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

  • I have an iMac G4 PowerPC with OS 10.5.? The OS10.5.8 update failed. Now get blue screen and error-can't find Intel Power Manager. What now??

    I have an iMac G4 PowerPC with OS 10.5.? After deleting 17G of music files to make room on the 74G drive, The iPhoto and iWeb updates seemed to load okay, but the OS 10.5.8 update failed - message opened said the computer encountered an error and must shut down. Now I get the blue screen. Startup with 'V' pressed shows multiple lines saying: error-can't find IntelCPU Power Manager. What now?? I  reset PRAM, I think.....?????

    I am concerned that you might have applied a system updated intended for an Intel iMac, while you have a PPC (non-Intel) iMac. Your PPC OS should not be looking for an "IntelCPU Power Manager."
    Have you tried booting from the 10.5 install DVD/CD and repairing the hard drive, plus repairing permissions?
    If you done the repairs mentioned above, and your problem still persists, you can also try doing a safe boot. (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 ) Then, if none of these things worked, if I were in your shoes (it's hard to diagnose these things without being there in person) I would first check that there is adequate disk space, then I would boot from the 10.5 DVD/CD install disk and reinstall the operating system. There is an option to do an archive and install preserving user files/settings, that would be the option you want, as it will save your files but install a new OS. Make sure you have a good backup of your files first. If you do not have one, use "target mode" to copy all your files before embarking on an new OS install. Assuming that you do succeed with this install, then use Software Update to get the right updates for your iMac.

  • Blue screen fatal error messages - laptop always crashes and now won't even let me restore

    My dv6920ea laptop has developed a fault and keeps crashing with blue screen errors, such as "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". The problem has become so bad that it happens everytime I turn the laptop on. The laptop ran "Windows memory diagnostic tool" which said that there was a hardware fault. I've tried running a full system recovery to factory setting but sometimes the laptop crashes, and when it doesn't it asks me to insert a windows disc, but my laptop didn't come with one. The laptop is a year and a half old. What can I do to fix this issue? I don't mind completely recovering the laptop to factory settings and I have most(!) of my files backed up.

    Hello djbless,
    You’re getting blue screens with error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    Run diagnostics to make sure that you are not having a problem with any of the hardware.
    Turn off the computer.
    As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
    Run the startup test.
    Go to HP.com and update the drivers, there is a button that says Let HP scan your system for out-of-date and missing drivers and software
    Here is a link to the updates.

  • Burning playlists from my iTunes to CD doesn't work anymore. Keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?

    I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes.  I keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?  I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed.  I tried this and that didn't help.  I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc.  I have not tried this yet.  I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue.  I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord.  Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities?  Thanks for the help.

    A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

    Realize that a MBP that came with Tiger is an old computer and optical drives do not last forever.
    You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust.  Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue.

    It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
    Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

    after upgrading to ios8 my ipad is getting blue screen and restarting frequently. I restored my ipad from itunes and configured as new, still same issue.

    Hello harichikka,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you have already restored your iPad as new, but you're still experiencing this blue screen and restarts, the next step would be to ensure your iPad is up to date, and contact Apple.

  • Updated to Firefox 35.0 recently and I keep getting a Java Application error message everytime I pull up a new page

    This is more of a heads-up rather than a ques

    I recently update Firefox to version 35. My computer operating system is Windows 7 Starter. Since adding the update every page I pull up I get a Java script error message "Error: 'console' getter called on an object that does not implement window interface."
    I followed the steps for trouble shooting extensions and managed to isolate the problem. It was an add-on extension for Youtube Auto HD 1.4. The message no longer pops up.
    I hope others out there find this helpful.

    Sorry didn't noticed it was solved.
