After Norton2005 installation

[Guest]

I recently installed Norton2005 and on shut down it says that the process
hpcmpmgr.exe is not responding. I have NO idea what that process is or why I
need it, but is there a way to make my computer shut down without having
problems and without me having to hit the "end now" button.

The HP in the file name indicates that the file is applicable to a HP
computer or external HP hardware {perhaps a scanner or printer} you have
installed.

On shutdown a non-responding message is likely a Windows message not a
Norton {anti-virus?} message. Suggest you try HP support for your hardware.

That's an HP software update service. The long and the short is that you
don't even need it running. Go into MSCONFIG or REGEDIT and clear it out of
your startup items.

I think HP needs to understand that having 7 or 8 different services running
for a 'freakin photo printer' is not the way to go. I fix this problem all
the time on my clients machines. With HP computers being the worst.
Here you have a $499-$599 special with a Celeron CPU and a scant 128MB RAM
and what do you do HP? You load it down with around 10 different 'HP'
softwares that startup with the system gobbling up the memory and causing an
already 'not optimal' system to go slower than snail #%$@!! All your doing
is hurting yourself.
Anyway...end of rant...
