HP 9130 OJ Printer causes slow access to 'My Computer'
Posted by Tim on April 6th, 2008


There is a delay in opening 'My Computer' (and save as 'browser' - I don't
know the name for these interactive windows). It is a t60 laptop running
xp+sp2.

It happens after installing an HP OfficeJet 9130. I have unistalled and
installed in
several different ways (options), but the trouble persists. I just
re-confirmed that
the problem is caused by the presence of the 9130 by unistalling it again,
and
checking.

I have read several suggestions about why slow access to My Computer occurs.
I don't have any drives connected. The 9130 is the only real printer I have
attached. (Adobe PDF and MS Office Doc. Writer are listed as well.)

I use the scanner on this computer. The WIA service is 'automatic', but was
not
running when I checked once when the 'My Computer' issue existed.

BTW: I have a second t60/xp+sp2 computer that is set up to use the same
printer/scanner. No hang-up on that machine.

I hope you can help!

Regards,
Tim
