error message

[Guest]

I keep getting an RTL message that says "unable to start driver for
HPZipm12.exe" I have no idea what this means, and it's not interfering with
anything I try to do, but it's popping up more and more lately. Help!

Here's some info..
Hpzipm12 HPZipm12.exe

(Hewlett-Packard) Background task loaded by the drivers for the HP PSC
2100, 2200, 4100, and 6100 series of multifunction printers. This task
seems to be involved in the handling of Zip drives if your PC has one,
although we are not certain.

Recommendation :
Our [small sample of] evidence so far shows that this task is quite
often responsible for PC slow-downs as well as serious conflicts with
specific software packages (e.g. the inability to print anything from Sage
Instant Accounting). Disabling it with The Ultimate Troubleshooter does
not seem to impact on the proper operation of the HP printer, but solves all
the other problems.
