Gary, I also just got an HP desktop and have the same problem. I tried to uninstall some HP programs and there was an error due to a missing uninstall file or something. Therefore, I went into MSCONFIG and unchecked the HP Advisor so that it would at least not run at startup. I have had a similar problem with ASUS software on a Netbook and also on a Samsung Netbook as well, and it is frustrating.

This was on Windows XP back in 2002, but, I wonder if they used the same tactic. >Sorry I can't be of more help. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Gary King > To: GW-Info > Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 12:10 PM > Subject: HP Programs On New Desktop > I now have my new HP desktop up and running with Windows 7 Home Premium and > Window-Eyes 7.2. I'm getting quite a few windows popping up from HP Advisor that Window-Eyes doesn't read. JAWS doesn't read them either. Should I just get rid of all of the HP programs such as HP Advisor, HP Support Assistant and HP Games? I also have what I suppose is a trial of Norton Internet Security, but I don't think it is active since I don't see any sign of it in the System Tray. I haven't heard anything good about programs from the Norton folks lately, accessibility wise. > I am just getting started with Windows 7 after skipping Vista. Fun!
