System slowdown---hppanet0.exe

[Ken K]

Win2000 SP4

I have noticed of late that my system will slow down and when I look to
see what is causing it, there is an exe file named hppanet).exe that is
doing it. I have found it in /winnt/system but I don't know where it
came from or what it does.

Does anyone know what the purpose of this file???

Thanks

Its part of a HP printer driver program.

Thanks. I tracked it down on HP, rebooted, and all has been fine. Just
some quirk.

Thanks again,
