I have very recently noticed a difference in my computer. It has started to install different programs by itself into my computer. What do i do?

..uninstall them, fight back! its prabably drivers for printers, mice, speakers etc. When in doubt, call HP, they have really Good Customer Support.
2 :
What kind of programs is it installing?
3 :
You need to be more specific. If it is relatively new it could be installing HP updates. Or you could have picked up a trojan downloader. I suggest running A-Squared Free anti-malware just to see: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Hewlett Packard Vectras
How good are Hewlett Packard Vectras and how old are they? I have never heard of one and bought a rebuilt one?

Are you talking about the "phantom touchpad" phenomenon, wherein the pressure of resting your hands on the keyboard while typing triggers movements on the touchpad, possibly causing focus loss and weird window focus changes, interfering with your work? You can alleviate this in a number of ways. One is to learn to type properly -- your hands are not supposed to rest on anything, but float in the air above the keyboard (that's how fast typists do it). Another idea is to disable touch-clicks in your touchpad's settings/properties. Even better, some modern touchpads have either drivers with settings that allow you to disable the touchpad while typing (they "work" to varying degrees), or a hardware switch that allows you to disable the touchpad outright at will. Why don't you phone and complain to HP and insist on a resolution? I have no idea why their laptops are so popular; I've yet to be impressed by one, but I guess it must be this kind of thing -- crapitude that customers don't complain about and just put up with -- that lets them get away with it. Good luck!

Hewlett Packard

I have an Hewlett Packard printer and I tried to print something and then cancelled it. Now when I open the "Printers and Fax Drivers" box (the printer icon in the tray) it seems to be stuck because it says "deleting-printing" and I tried to cancel it but it won't go away! What can I do?

1 :
reboot your computer to reset everything, and if that does not free up your printer, go to control program, add/remove and uninstall the printer and then re-install it.
2 :
simply restart the computer
3 :
With your computer turned on, turn your printer off. Then opent the "Printers" icon in control panel. Next double click on your printer Icon (there may be more than one. Choose the one that you print to.) this will opent he printer que. Click on "printer" and from the menu, choose "Cancel all documents" You may have to wait a while but this will remove all the the print jobs from the print que. Once all jobs are clear, shutdown your computer then turn on your printer and then restart your computer. See how that goes, Cheers, Robert
