Uninstall and reinstall the software

If your installation is incomplete, or if you connected the USB cable to the computer before prompted by the software installation screen, you might need to uninstall and then reinstall the software. Do not simply delete the HP Photosmart application files from your computer. Make sure to remove them properly using the uninstall utility provided when you installed the software that came with the HP Photosmart.

To uninstall and reinstall the software

1.On the Windows taskbar, click Start, Settings, Control Panel (or just Control Panel).

2.Double-clickAdd/Remove Programs (or click Uninstall a program).

3.Select HP Photosmart All-in-One Driver Software, and then click Change/ Remove.

Follow the onscreen instructions.

4.Disconnect the product from your computer.

5.Restart your computer.

NOTE: It is important that you disconnect the product before restarting your computer. Do not connect the product to your computer until after you have reinstalled the software.

6.Insert the product CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive and then start the Setup program.

NOTE: If the Setup program does not appear, locate the setup.exe file on the CD-ROM drive and double-click it.

NOTE: When the computer is turned on, a software group called the Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs automatically loads. These programs activate some of the computer utilities, such as the anti-virus software, that are not required for the computer to function. Occasionally, TSR's prevent the HP software from loading so that it does not install properly. In Windows Vista and Windows XP, use the MSCONFIG utility to prevent TSR programs and services from starting up.

7.Follow the onscreen instructions and the instructions provided in the Setup Guide that came with the product.
