I have the same exact problem with my HP 2610 Photosmart All-in-One-printer.
I also can't uninstall or reinstall software as the error shuts down the
software. This is most lokely a MS issue. I was on the phone w/them earlier
today with a network problem. Windows Vista Ultimate reconfigured router to
different workgroup. I lost internet connectivity. After 3 hours on the phone
& 3-wayed w/Linksys-Linksys resolved issue with connectivity not with
software. In my opinion, MS doesn't do a good job with resolving software
issues-they usually tell you it's a 3rd party vendor.This problem affects
more than just the HP printers. I have the same error w/my ethernet adapter,
I have 3 because of this, sound card, & imaging software. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
