HP Print Drivers Upate 2.2 install won't complete

After upgrading to Snow Leopard I replaced my existing HP printer with a Photosmart Plus model and installed the HP software and drivers which are certified for Snow Leopard.
Shortly after that an update showed up for my machine called "HP Printer Drivers Update" version 2.2 with a size of 4.8MB. I have installed the package and it completes the second pass verification check confirming that it has installed correctly. However it keeps showing up again over and over as requiring installation. I cannot get the install to complete so that it no longer shows up as new software. When this started I was running 10.6.1 and the install of 10.6.2 has not corrected the problem.
I'm hoping someone can help solve this as I'm pulling my hair out and cannot find a solution.
P.

Here are the log results. I've cut out all the repeating printer check lines in the middle.

While using FF Browser, a window appeared, telling me I had an outdated version and should upgrade and it won't complete install nor allow me to uninstall to re

First of all, I have Windows XP/HE/SP3 and my main browser is IE8, tho i also have Google and did have, FF V#21. And while using the FF browser, was alerted that my current version was outdated, etc, even tho I just installed V#21 only 1 week ago, but I took FF's word for it and clicked (x'd) to install the upgrade. The application (AP) used to install was called "Optimum Installer" and had the word "Firefox" in smaller print in the upper left hand corner. This seemed diff from the AP i had used to install just 1 week prior, but since i was using IE8 to install FFV#21 originally, I figured the FF browser used this "Optimum" AP, so I proceeded. The small window then said, "you have chosen to open this file" and yet there was no option to "open" only to "save" or cancel. So i x'd on "save" and my Norton file checker popped up to tell me this file is "safe." But afterwards no install window appeared, so i tried to DL the file again and still no Install window after a total of 8 attempts. I finally found the setup file in "my documents" and opened it and x'd to install. It seemed to work ok, tho again, I was asked alot of questions about making thus and such my default browser, or search engine, or home page, etc, and even some other, but i declined them all, i think, but not sure about one possible miscue. Anyways, the AP told me I'd successfully installed this newer version of FF. So of course i wanted to open it and see how it would work, and i went to my task bar/notification tray to X on the globe icon and instead it showed a "setup" icon. I put my mouse under it and it said "Mozilla Firefox" so i went ahead and x'd on it expecting FF to open. Instead, a small warning appeared telling me i had to reboot for the install..to be completed, so i did, but no change. Tried atleast half a dozen times and nothing, no new or any, version of FF working on my pc now. I even tried to look at support, but no answers, then tried to uninstall and it won't even let me do that, it keeps saying that "your computer must first be restarted to complete a previous upgrade"; yet that already hasn't been working. Also, i went from a V#21 to a V#13.0.1 with 77MB+ of space, which is way more than FF#21. Now I do believe this version is corrupt and really don't want it, but can't get rid of it. I even tried to reinstall V21 (also from IE8, since I don't even have FF browser now) and it goes to a point, but then also tells me I can't get this V21 til I complete an install/upgrade of another version. So basically, i have what i believe is a corrupt/malicious piece of software on my pc, calling itself Mozilla V#13.0.1 - which I can't get rid of, and also can't reinstall the version I had, least i finish installing the one i have but don't think I now want. Keep in mind also, I can't do any of the suggestions from within the FF browser that have been suggested, because I don't have it any more, only IE8 and Google....Any suggestions?

Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

Itunes won't complete installing?

My itunes won't complete the install process? please help

I tried turning off my anti-virus to no avail. I really have no idea what are they are talking about with "Tools-Downloads" The only place you can do anything is under Help-Check for Updates, and I assumed that was the same thing.
I also tried to email Apple but they need the serial number of my Itunes. How do you find that? I didn't even know Itunes had a serial number.

I've downloaded Lightroom 5.6 today but it won't completely load before windows pops up and says that it has encountered a problem and is shutting the application down. What is my next step....thanks?

If you use extensions like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flashblock that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content. 
You can see the installed Firefox extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions".
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Photoshop Elements 10 won't complete installation and won't uninstall.

Photoshop Elements 10 won't complete the installation process and it won't uninstall using the uninstall utility (I get an error message). So I tried deleting all files manually. However, when I re-insert Disc #1 it only offers to uninstall Elements 10 - which it won't do (same error message). So I can't go forward (install) or backward (uninstall). My computer is a Dell Studio 1555 with 4 GB of RAM, 64-bit OS, running on Vista Home Premium. I have 180 GB free of 283 GB on the C drive.

Thanks, Your link took me right to it. Baisley 944

I have been unable to upgrade for almost a year. The upgrade loads partially, but won't complete.

I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7, computer is about a year and a half old. I think I may have had one successful upgrade very early on, to 3.5.2. Every time I've tried to upgrade since then, it starts but won't complete. It's getting to the point where this has got to be upgraded, and I simply can't get it to move. I've noticed Firefox has been crashing, which it almost never used to do. Help!!

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

BB Torch keeps trying to reboot and won't complete

Anyone had this experience and found a solution??
I clicked a link from Drop Box to install application and it immediately shut off my BB Torch and it has been trying to reboot ever since but won't complete reboot. It gets to about 70% on the progress bar and shuts off again repeatedly. Tried hard and soft reboot and it didn't help.

When you get a chance, do a battery pull. When the red light goes away on the front of the phone, hold down the
back button the entire time while the phone is booting up. When the boot is complete, the phone will enter safe
mode.

Remove the app and do another battery pull.
if you can't get past that, you will have to reload the device software on the phone.

Won't completely restart!

I downloaded the Pandora app for my phone about an hour ago and it said it needed to reboot to finish the installation. I did so, and now it won't completely restart. It has gone to the Blackberry logo with the loading bar along the bottom at least 10 times. I put it in the charger, and I have taken the battery out twice. What is the deal?

You didn't say how long you're letting it sit there to reboot. It can take 5-7 minutes.
If it doesn't completely reboot, leave the battery out now for over five minutes, replace and try again.
If still nothing, please post back here.

TS1702 IBOOKS WON'T COMPLETE DOWNLOADING OF MY PURCHASED BOOKS

Satellite L500-19X: Win7 install won't work - stuck on syswow64 loop?

I've tried to reinstall Windows 7 on Satellite L500-19x but it won't complete - every time I boot up laptop a white splash screen appears saying "preparing to install...may take a few minutes" but this never disappears...can get out of this screen by starting task manager and hitting escape a few times.
When get as far as desktop things seem to be in order except for command prompt running Syswow64/sysprep/...access is denied on continuous loop, also there is a window saying "TUPIT 2" which seems to have failed as there is a "requested registry access is not allowed" in front of it.
Would really appreciate if somebody could tell me how to fix this as it is extremely frustrating and seems to be so close yet so far to being successfully completed!

Hi
This message is very strange. Had read in internet about similar issues but the issues were always related to the registry problems.
In most cases the error message appeared trying to repair the Windows OS.
Did you try to make a clean installation?
I think you should format the HDD firstly before trying to install the Win 7.
Hopefully everything would be erased from HDD before starting the setup installation

OS X won't complete boot

My Mac Mini won't complete the startup process. It gets as far as the message "starting OS X" with the blue progress bar all the way full but then stays there...it's been there for the last 3 hours. It doesn't look frozen and I suspect memory issues. As I can't get to the "About this mac" screen I can't tell you exactly what kind of mem. it has, but I believe its 512 with 2.something RAM & 30g hard drive and non-Intel...so yeah, older, slower model but has been working fine up until just a few weeks ago. Symptoms have included programs freezing, not waking or taking forever to do so. I emptied the Safari cache and later read about the activity monitor & how emptying the CPU history cache would also help...both of these things did completely resolve the issue but was back to it moving slowly within a week or two. I also did reset the PRAM as outlined in another discussion but since it went past the gray screen with the logo & spinning gear, I sensed this was probably not the issue and sure enough, there was no change. At this point I figure I need to just wait for it to eventually complete its boot then empty the caches again, but what about helping it to not do this again? Is there something else I'm missing other than uninstalling infrequently used programs, not running widgets, etc.?
Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification, but it still just continues to the"starting os x" message with the blue progress bar. By "old aluminum keyboard" do you mean the flat, newer ones that are out? The one I got with the mini in '05 was all white, plastic and been thrown away a long time ago when certain keys stopped working. So yes, I probably do have the kind that doesn't work with it (I actually kept my old keyboard for a couple of years "just in case" but threw it out in the last year...of course!) The mini doesn't have bluetooth or remote capability...so...do I go borrow someone's old plastic white one?
Also, I installed Tiger when it came out. Should I be using that disk for the reinstall, or the original with Panther on it? I've been using the original.
I was suspecting a virus mostly because I do keep the hard drive with around 10g free, so at about 30%. The only recent difference is that I tried to open PhotoShop CS4 which I installed a couple of years ago but never got around to learning. It told me it needed to be reinstalled as something was missing or corrupted so I closed it and that was the end of that. I've read that it's one of the programs out there that can really deplete memory, maybe it did something when I opened it. But if I can't log in to uninstall it, I'm stuck.
Thank God for my MacBook!
Thanks

My iPhone 5 won't complete the sync with my PC...

my iPhone 5 won't complete the sync with my PC, says "waiting for items to copy (step 6 of 6)". have left the PC and phone connected for up to 15 hours one time, and the status never changes.

I figure it out. Somehow, in my Advanced settings, password was somehow "de-selected" as my Authentication setting in Incoming Selections. I re-selected it, and now everything is back to normal...

Mobile account won't complete setup, initial sync won't complete.

I'm trying to setup a mobile account but it won't complete the sync process on the client MacBook Pro. Both the server and the MacBook Pro are running 10.5.5.
When I login to client it prompts me to create a Mobile account and proceeds with the sync to create the account, but when the sync is complete it just logs in with the default account setup. None of the user files or settings (desktop image, preferences, etc) appear. The sync process says "Checking..." for all the files that supposedly get copied to the client, but it looks like it doesn't complete.
Is there a way of knowing what the problem is? Is there an issue with the user's home directory, some file that prevents the sync and mobile home creation from completing?
Thanks.

Forgot about getting this problem solved.
The user account that had this trouble had a copy of his home directory from a laptop in his home directory. This backup had it's own Library folder which was confusing the Mobile account sync process.
When I removed the backup home directory, the initial sync went fine.
