BTW, I don't know if you read my earlier post this morning but I too care of an issue over the weekend that we've had with something called the HP Cue Device dicsovery service. It has been hanging on starting the last several weeks causing delays in the computer starting up.
We turned it off, then changed it to disabled in the startup deal.
This is in the services tab in adminstrative tools in the control panel.
Also, we had a power outage early this morning in our part of town. It went out around midnight and was restored around 3 AM. Apparently a transformer blew and caused the outage which affected our part of town.
Not much else is going on.
I don’t have an HP but I know I do need to remove some applications from my start up menu so it will be a little quicker.
I just have to sit down & remember how to do it!:)
