You do not need it. Hewlett Packard installs it whether you like it or not, whenever you buy one of their machines. I usually reformat the hard drives on them and reinstall Windows Xp from a Microsoft CD whenever I get a HP (or a Compaq), as it irritates the crap out of me, as well. Dell used to do that stuff, too, but they're getting better these days.

Reason #1 is because I need to run some software that are not available for Linux (yet :).\nThe other nine reasons, such as being easy to use, are really for novice users, not power users.

your computer hard drive is about totally filled up.\ntry running your clean up programs.\nAnother thing, some anti virus soft wares, have extras for .the puropse of privacy and other stuff.\nIf they are starting to detect stuff harm full to yourPC,they will get in the way of things, and even stop it cold.

The two HP files are used by HP Photosmart so I'm guessing you have an HP printer connected.\n\nThe fact that there's seemingly random errors suggests something somewhere has become corrupted.\n\nYou culd try doing a System Restore.\n\nSystem Restore lets you restore your computer to a previous state, if a problem occurs, without losing your personal data files (such as Microsoft Word documents, browsing history, drawings, favorites, or e-mail). System Restore monitors changes to the system and some application files, and it automatically creates easily identified restore points. These restore points allow you to revert the system to a previous time. They are created daily and at the time of significant system events (such as when an application or driver is installed).   \n\nBear in mind that when you perform a System Restore you will probably lose any programs, updates and customizations that have occurred after the date of the system restore point - make sure you make back up copies of such files.\n\nTo access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.  Follow the instructions in the System Restore Wizard to restore your computer to a date prior to when these problems started occuring.

Computers will destroy most relationships of those who do not know much about them. They are always fighting over the PC if they only own one and as soon as there is a problem with it immediately they blame the other even when it is a very simple fix.

Well here's what I could find:\n\nBartshel - bartshel.exe (one l) is apparently some kind of utility installed by People PC's dial-up service. You can remove it if you don't use People PC.\n\nGWMDMMSG - This is related to your modem drivers. Advisable to let it run. You could be connected to a Cable modem or a DSL modem or even a simple dial up.\n\njusched - Java Updater utility. Checks for Java Runtime updates regularly.\n\nDirectcd -  Roxio's packet writing software which allows the user to write and delete to CDs and DVDs as if they were a normal drive. Non essential so you could chunk it.\n\nNavapw32 - The navapw32.exe process runs in the background on start up of the machine. It checks for any tell tale signs of virus activity on your computer while you are using it. If this process is stopped Norton anti virus may not be able to detect any viruses entering your system. Consequently your computer will not be protected, so it is best to leave this process running.\n\nhpgs2wnd and hpgs2wnf - the executables corresponding to Hewlett-Packard's share-to-web software. This application allows a user to share photos to a secure Internet site. You could remove this if you do not use this feature from HP.\n\nWkUFind - process relating to Microsoft Picture-It. This procses will attempt to dial the Internet, if not already connected in order to find an update for this product. Again can be disabled or removed.\n\n\nWkCalRem - process belonging to the Microsoft Works suite. It allows tasks to be scheduled.

Greetings.  As a PC-Tech, I have found that the best solutions are the simplest ones, and are usually even FREE.  Modern PCs usually do not slow down due to CPU speed or programs that YOU have installed.  Sadly, it is the 'corporate monster' that does ALL the damage.  Companies are so eager to sell a product or service that they install software, browser hi-jackers, and 'ad-ware' without the users' knowledge or consent.  Of course this is illegal, but they do it ANYWAY, and very little is being done to stop it.  All these 'add-ons' sent to your PC and installed without your consent, from literally dozens, even hundreds of companies, are what slows down your PC, b/c they ALL configure their software to SECRETLY START upon System Booting. Almost any 'innocent' website you go to has a greater than 90% chance of installing these things.  Some people pay $100s or even $1,000s to have professionals remove this stuff, but there the best way is FREE.  PLEASE go to http://www.lavasoft.com/ and download Ad-Aware RIGHT NOW.  It will remove virtually ALL Ad-Ware without installing MORE of it as virtually ALL other similar software has been known to do. I am not a salesperson, nor am I affiliated with Lava-Soft in any way.  So why do I recommend this product and tell you that it is THE BEST?  I use it. For further info, please send offline mesages to Y! messenger Id: digitalmythology or send e-mails to: digitalmythology@to digitalmythology@yahoo.com. Thank You

I'm not really sure what your question is. We use computers in our business for everything from processing information about our customers to tracking sales to communicating with customers and internally. Computers fully drive our business.

It's most likely your antivirus program quarantining HP in your system. I have had Norton, and Mcafee do the same thing to me until I got rid of them. I use AVG free 7.1 Antivirus (Grisoft) this will correct the problem, and it is free from: MajorGeeks.com. Thats crazy isn't it?
