Anne: I have been having same problem. By any chance do you use a HP
All-In-One Printer? I went to HP for any updates this morning for my laptop
(also HP)and "behold" the first critical update referred to my problem. I
downloaded all of HPs updates and my problem was solved. No more of those
pesky DEP popups when I boot my laptop. The laptop is a zd8000 with Media
Center 2005. My All-In-One is a HP Photosmart 2710. I really hope this
helps you as I have researched this problem for 2 weeks and was getting ready
to do a full recovery. So glad I didn't.
