Photosmart C4200 Series updates on every boot Widows Vista

Why why why??? 
It's making me crazy.!!!
Every time I boot up, re-boot or bring the PC out of sleep, there it is - HP Update wants to download drivers.
How do I kill it?
Thanks in advance,
Terry

Sorry folks, I caused the problem trying out a free system that was very confusing to use. I found out what the problem was and felt to tell you in case any others run into the same dilemma. I downloaded a so-called free antivirus detector offered from IOBit 360 called "RETURNil (virtual) System 2010" (free for 30 days) which acted like a cancer imbedded in the system causing the problems It must work to treat all other spyware, malware, adware and virus detectors like interferring software there by not allowing them to update since it thinks that the updates are compromising software. I think it might have worked ok if I had turned OFF all of these detection programs when using the RETURNil software.
To add insult to injury, it would not allow windows to delete it - you had to go into the program and uncheck all checkmarks, turn off all the detection programs on your computer and re-boot. Only then would it enable Windows to delete the system. After it was removed, everything was back to normal and all updates worked as designed.
Sorry for the panic and hope others who download "RETURNil (virtual) System 2010" understand that it could cause problems if not utilized as programmed. I am sure it is a well designed antivirus, antimalware, antiadware & etc that does a great job watching over all aspects of your PC, but one needs to be cognizant of how to use it properly and not as I attempted.
Also, this program would not let you use the Restore Function - when you tried to restore to an ealier restore point, you received a message "the shadow copy provider timed out while flushing data to the volume being shadow copied (0X80042313).  After I got rid of RETURNil, the restore worked fine.  So, be careful and understand this antivirus detector - virtual must mean its always there alive looking over your system and may be too invasive for some.

  • On my photosmart C4200 series printer, error message says USB not connected

    I have a hp photosmart C4200 series it's saying the USB not connected. I made sure all connections were secure and still same message. I unplugged it and then plugged back in at tower and printer, still same. I changed out cable, still same problem.  Is there anything else I can do aside from buying a new printer? Thanks, Jenn

    Hi @jennirvinpest,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are getting the error message that says your USB is not connected with your HP Photosmart c4200 series.  
    For further assistance, I will need some more information:
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is able to make copies.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • Photosmart series 4200 Update on Every Boot

    Hi -
    I get update prompts for my 4200 series every time I boot or re-boot my machine.  This can't possibly be necessary.  How do I get it to stop?
    Thanks in advance,

  • "projects and events must be updated" on every boot

    I gather that FCPX 10.0.3 has to update the events and projects when you first open it after installation but I keep getting the same message everytime I launch it.
    Any ideas????
    Thanks in advance
    Marcello

    Check out the thread called Disasterous. The 10.0.3 update has a serious issue where previous projects require re-rendering of all titles/text every time your restart FCPX. MAJOR issue for many people. HUGE slowdown in workflow, meaning you really cannot quit FCPX if you are working on any projects.
    New titles created in .3 do not have the problem. Just prior projects.

  • Volsnap - Shadow copies deleted every boot

    Am using Win7 Ultimate Sp1 32 bit.  Since last week (bunch of Windows updates),
    upon every boot, I get a volsnap error:
    shadow copies of volume C: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time
    and my system restore points are deleted.
    I  have 150 GB free space on the drive and System protection is allocated for 8% of the drive.  Coinciding with this issue is the fact that I'm also having problems resuming from sleep.  I'm not sure if the
    shadow copy error also occurs on resume from sleep

      Miya,  you are giving me all hotfixes and data for Windows Server 2003.  MY SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 32 BIT, NOT WINSERVER 2003.

  • Unable to boot to Vista with Sound Blaster XFi Fata1ity Pro Series driv

    I installed Vista Home Premium x86 as a second OS on a partition in conjunction with XP Pro. When I installed the Creative Vista drivers for my Fataity Pro Series I can't boot into Vista, it keeps restarting. I can, however, boot to XP and the card still works perfectly.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Failed updates every night for Hewlett Packard Imaging NULL print HP Photosmart 6520 series

    since I got my photosmart 6520 printer 12/02/2012 every night it tries to update Hewlett Packard Imaging NULL print HP photosmart 6520 series ....and it fails every time.  I have a HP P 7 1010 desktop and ever since I got new printer I have an exclaimation point on my computer and it says to troubleshoot and when you do it says it is doesn't have drivers and it shows NOT FIXED.  When you log off at night it tries to update the NULL print again and it fails every time.  I have talked to your service people numerous times for over an hour and they can not fix the problem.  PLEASE HELP
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I did some looking into the problem for another user, and it looks like this is just a ghost update.  Basically a "ghost update" is an update that was for the device, but the device has more recent drivers which causes the update to keep failing.  The only thing you can do is hide the update, or ignore it.  Windows will keep trying to push it, but your printer doesn't need it.  If it did need the update, it would install right.  You can find the thread where I helped the other user linked below.  Hope this helps.

    I have mac os 10.7.4 update for hp photosmart c4100 series printer (printer needs a driver), where do I find a driver?

    The last driver that Canon released for the iP6600D was v10.51 for OS X 10.7. You could try downloading and installing this driver via this link.
    Note that the driver may not be digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block its installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. You will then be given the option to install the driver.

  • Software Update Runs Every Time I Boot Up

    As soon as I updated OS X to 10.5.8, the Software Update runs every time I boot my MacBook. This occurs even though the "Check for Updates" option is NOT selected (in System Preferences|Software Update).
    This indicates (to me) that, since Software Update is not working properly, I can no longer trust that my machine has the current updates.
    Any ideas???

    It's probably in your login items. Launch Software Update, right-click its Dock icon, and ensure +Open at login+ is unchecked.

  • HP PRO 3400 Series desktop won't boot CPU fan starts and stops , no video, no beeps

    I have the above computer with an i3-2125 CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and a 300GB Seagate Hard drive.  I've had it for about 2 years and been working fine. It started acting up about 2 months ago.  It would lose the date and time.  I checked the battery, and it was OK, so I kept using the computer.  Then on 9/15/2014 it hung on "Starting Windows", I did the following:
    1.  Ran the built in HP diagnostic on hard drive and memory and they both passed.
    2.  Tried to go to last known good configuration and nothing happened.
    3.  Noticed the date and time were off, replaced the battery, nothing changed.
    4.  Tried another hard drive from another HP PRO 3400 Series and it would boot up but could not set date in bios.
    5.  Tried all kinds of things but could not set date in bios.
          a.  Bios date read 48/00/0048 after removing and replacing battery.
          b,  Tried to reset date to 9/16/2914 and it gets 56/00/0051
    6.  Then it wouldn't boot at all.   So now when you turn on the power, the CPU fan starts and runs for about 1 second, then shuts off for 4 seconds, then starts and runs for another 1 sec and it does this continuously.  There is  no video and no beeps and no difference when all memory is removed.
    7.  I removed the power supply, and checked voltages.  It appears to be OK.
    8.  I removed the motherboard, and inspected it- saw nothing obvious.
    9.  I connected the power supply to the motherboard with nothing else connected to the motherboard, and I get the same thing.  CPU fan starts then stops continuously, no video no beeps.
    10.  I am thinking it is the Motherboard, but I sure could use some suggestions as to what to do next.

  • HP Photosmart D110 Series getting error message when connecting to web services

    Hello guys!
    Hope someone can help. We have a HP Photosmart D110 series that is a couple years old. I am trying to get it connected to the web services feature for my wife. When we first got the printer it connected with no problems. When I go and click on enable web services it tells me cannot connect to server. Same error message happens when I try to do a product update. I tried to change manual preferred to 8. 8. 8. 8. and manual alternate to 8. 8. 4. 4. with no luck. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • My Photosmart D110 series printer prints random documents all on its own

    I turned on the my Photosmart D110 series printer after being away for a few days and discovered that it was halfway through installing an update that I hadn't ordered.  I quickly aborted this process, but not before the printer began relentlessly printing random documents from my files; as soon as I cancelled, it began printing another.  The print queue is empty.  I uninstalled and reinstalled.  I downloaded and ran the HP Print Doctor, which says all is OK.  I unplugged and unplugged some more.  And it still does it.  My operating system is XP 2002 (yes, I know, I know...).   Do I need to throw in the towel and get a new printer?

    missnan,
        The printer will only print what the PC sends to it, so I would look more into your pc than the printer.  What you might try to do is uninstall the printer and re-install, but keep in mind that the pc is sending those print jobs to the printer.  Are you sure that the printer is printing files from your PC, this printer does have apps and it can be set up to print those on a daily basis.

  • HP Photosmart B110 series wont print over wifi after OSX 10.8 upgrade

    My HP Photosmart B110 series worked fine with OSX ML, after move to 10.8 - nothing.  Software update installed an HP update, found the printer which it marked IDLE, then when you testprint/print, is says........Printer can't be found!?!  Have removed the printer in sys pref........then added new printer......no problem, shows available, idle.  When you try and print nada.  Works using the USB cable.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try rebooting your router by unplugging its power for 30 seconds.
    Once the router is up make sure to reboot the printer as well.
    If you still cannot print after those steps you may try resetting the printing system:
    *Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Select Print & Scan.
    Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type your user Name and Password .
    Click OK . The printing system resets.
    Now click the Plus sign, select the printer and try printing again.
    As the issue only appear over the network please let me know your router brand and model if the issue persists after completing the steps above.

    Shlomi
