Problem with my Computer

everytime I go to shut it down I get a message HPOEVM08.exe , and I have to hit "end task", in order to continue the shutdown. I have an HP printer hooked up ,and heard this is where that file is contained , has anyone else had this problem , and what can I do to get rid of it?
Thank You in advance for any help!
Good Luck!

Recommendation :
This task is bad press for HP. Almost all Windows 2000/XP users who install an HP PSC 2100 or 2200 series printer immediately complain of their PCs having become extremely slow and of "HPOEVM07.exe is not responding" or "HPOEVM08.exe is not responding" errors on shutdown. HP have issued a fix for it for HPOEVM08 which, strangely enough, is actually on the CD that your printer comes with, but it does not get installed automatically (that’s plain silly!).

To install the fix drill down to the Util\CCC\ImageEditor folder on the software CD and copy the file HPQVWR08.EXE from that CD folder to the following folder on your C: drive : "C: \ Program Files \ Hewlett-Packard \ Digital Imaging \ Bin". Then reboot."

have u tried overwriting that file with the one from the CD?

coz HP apparently shipped the updated file together with the CD.

Hope it works.

Sprocket, I did as you advised.....I overwrote the file and so far things are running smoothly. Thanks so much for the help<!-- / message -->

It is a file that is part of the printer "driver" (software). Delete the printer, reboot, let it redetect everything & then try it.

It gets kind of ugly if we have to go beyond there.

Do the following. It works! It worked for me after I tried out everything mentioned above unsuccessfully.
1. Down load the new driver from HP web.
2. Uninstall the old driver from your computer.
3. Install the new driver that you downloaded.
Good Luck
