Well I wanted to let everyone know how this issue is being resolved. I have managed to resolve two of the errors and I am still working on one.
In order to get rid of the Service HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service hung on starting for the HP Photosmart All in One 7280 series I did the following:
1) Click on the "Start Menu" icon on the bottom left corner of the screen , type "services.msc" in the "Start Search" edit box, and hit enter. This will trigger Vista to pop-up a "User Account Control" dialog to prompt for permission to continue. Click "Continue" to allow Vista to open the Services management console application.
2) The Services management console application is made up of 2 panels. The right panel contains a list of all services available on the system. Scroll thru this list and look for a service called "HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service".
3) Right-click on "HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service" and select "Properties" to open the "HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service Properties" dialog.
4) From the "HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service Properties" dialog, click on the "General" tab. If the "Service status" shows that the service has started, click on the "Stop" button to force the service to stop.
5) Change the "Start type" to "Disabled" and click on the "OK" button on the bottom of the dialog to apply the changes.
and the following:
1.Go to Computer,
2.Right click & select Properties.
3.Choose the Advanced panel. Click the first Settings button, in the Performance Section.
4.Choose the Data Execution Prevention panel.
5.Choose the first radio button, "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only
Now I just need to find the solution for the continuing application crashes and my printer software issue will be resolved. Wooo Hooo ![:ph34r:]()
