Error message hphmon06.exe - Unable to Locate Component

Question

I am getting the following message upon startup:
hphmon06.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start because hpzjrd01.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
On HP's website, it says:
Uninstall all HP products associated with this device.
Then,
Click here to go to the Software & Driver download page of the HP Web site.
Type the product name in the search field, and then press Enter.
What "products associated with this device" do I uninstall?  And what "product name" do I search for when I go to look for the new driver?
These instructions could not be any more vague and frustrating.

Answer 1

Should you have a HP Photosmart printer, consider uninstalling it and reinstall it.  The error message you are receiving I believe is related to this device.
Or
Failing that you may also try using the system configuration utility (msconfig)
 Click Start then Run. In the Open box, type msconfig.exeand press enter. Once displayed, click on the "Startup" tab. You will see a list of items and the 2 columns that we're interested in are "Startup Item"
look for hphmon06 and "Command" look for hphmon06.exe.
Note you can expand the width of Command column by holding down the left
mouse button with the cursor on the vertical line between the column headings
and then dragging the mouse to the right.
To stop the process click on the box on its left to remove the check mark.
