Printer slows desktop and laptop. Upon removal both much faster. Help?

Recently both desk (Internet 7, 64 bit)  and laptop (Vista Basic 32 bit)  running much much slower. Tried cleaning up both. Finally removed All in One  HP 6500  from laptop and it ran much faster! Reinstalled, and much slower again. What is happening? I can't find any updates to fix the problem? 

There's a link here to another thread describing the same problem you are experiencing with 100% CPU utilization.  Their solution was to disable the hpqtra08.exe process from loading at startup (using msconfig).

    On the old laptop, under Help, choose deactivate.
    Install on the new machine, and enter the serial number to activate.

  • Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
    Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.

    Hi glennm98649874,
    Absolutely yes! You can install your Acrobat subscription on up to two computers like your desktop & laptop.
    Install Acrobat and use the same Adobe ID credentials to activate the software on both the machines.

    I have latest firefox on my desktop and laptop, was working very well since threee years. Sudenlly has stop working both on my desktop and laptop. please help me.

    Hello becky81464
    If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet, see [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet firewalls]
    see also : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-windows-firewall-allow-firefox-access Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet ]
    thank you

  • Using Win 7 64bit on desktop and laptop. OK on laptop; desktop does not load graphics in broswer with/without exts/addons. Any ideas?

    Browser loads text on page but not full graphics - some - sometimes; sometimes none. I use same search engine on both desktop and laptop. I've tried disabling add-ons and extensions but it makes no difference. As I didn't know which version of Shockwave Flash to install I've installed both!!!

    Thanks for this. I could not select Shockwave Flash 9.0.45.0 - but downloaded the uninstaller from Adobe which removed the newer Flash 11 version. I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode and yes, Flash 9 was still there. I ran the uninstaller again - after closing Firefox. It said that Flash was removed however when I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode - Flash 9 was still there - disabled - but there. Nothing appears in the Control Panel/Programs list. So how do I uninstall this older version?
    Graphics problem continues in Safe Mode.
    After reading: Flash 9.0 r28 and below: Your Windows list of installed programs may have an entry for "Adobe Flash Player ActiveX" but this will only remove the Flash Player for Internet Explorer and AOL. To completely remove Flash from your system, download the Flash uninstaller from Adobe.com. To remove Flash from Mozilla browsers only, delete these Flash plugin files from all locations. [17]
    I searched for but did not find:
    NPSWF32.dll
    flashplayer.xpt
    This sort of stuff is out of my comfort zone!

  • How do I setup a wireless file sharing network with a desktop and laptop?

    Here are the specs.
    Desktop, 1 Ethernet, hooked to Wireless router and is my main computer. XP Professional
    Router, Wireless Linksys WRT54GL
    Laptop, Wireless card and Ethernet. XP Home
    Both the Desktop and Laptop can use the internet. The internet can be accessed by both computers. I have tried everything from creating a network via windows, messed with that for a couple days, tried programs and messed with them for a few hours.
    I can sometimes see the other computer, when I deleted the programs I had to redo it, and so on. I made the folders I wanted shared, through the share menu when you right click on them, and they show up on the other computer, but I can't access them. It says I don't have access rights and to contact the administrator, but IM the administrator.
    So, what do I do?

    Disable all firewall on both the computers ....
    Try to ping one computer to another ... see if it works ....
    Also you can try this link ..... useful for enabling the sharing of files in a network ...

  • Working with Lightroom between a Windows desktop and laptop

    Please forgive me if there appears to be an obvious answer to this question.  I'm sure a lot of it has to do with work flows.
    I have both a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit desktop and laptop both with Adobe CC (Photoshop CC 2014 & Lightroom 5.6) installed.
    I always treat my desktop as my "Main" machine as it holds ALL of my 10,000 odd images all stor ed in a folder structure.
    As a very new Lightroom user, I'm slowly starting to bring all these images into a LR catalogue folder by folder, but this will take some time.
    My actual question is how can I edit a photo on my laptop in LR but ensure that the edited image is stored back in my Lightroom Catalogue on my desktop?   I hope this question makes sense.
    I don't store all my images up onto the cloud seeing we're talking just over 100GB.  It's not like LR Mobile where one can select an image or collection to Sync and my understanding is that it appears on your Lightroom Mobile; I'm an android person and so yes,  am STILL waiting for an android version of Lightroom Mobile
    Thank you all for your patience with a newbie LR user

    Do the editing on the laptop, then use the Lightroom command File->Export as Catalog, transfer the resulting files to the desktop, use the Lightroom command File->Import from Another Catalog
