Hi. I just bought a new printer, as my old faithful of five years *finally* died.
This model is similar to my old one.
My computer is an HP Pavilion a810n
I’m running Window’s XP
Plenty of space left on my hard drive, not sure about RAM
The software installed without a hitch, except that when I tried to plug in the USB from the printer to the tower, the computer froze. I had to do a manual shut down. The computer can’t even seem to boot up in safe mode when the cable is plugged in, yet starts up fine when it isn’t.
Help! I’m usually pretty good with this sort of thing, but this is beyond me.
I do know that I have too many programs pinned to my start-up menu, but don’t know how to unpin them. Need help there too.
I’m extremely frustrated. I bought this computer nearly two years ago, and this is the first trouble I’ve had with it. It hasn’t slowed down much, except for at start-up, and again, I believe this is due to having too many programs trying to automatically start. All I’d really like to have pinned to start up is Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, my anti-virus program, and Weatherbug.
