When I clicked the first time Outlook opened and I don't even have Outlook configured as my email cliient. So I copy/pasted your link into a new browser window, and I get this (about 3 times in a row). I also tried using IE:

The connection was reset


The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.


The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Well, I went back to hp.com and did fill out a form to email HP under "questions before you buy". I did get an email acknowledgement. Hopefully they will respond. Thank you.

[linsjean]

I haven't heard back from HP yet. What I am wondering is why your link to contact HP via email is not working. Keep getting "Problem loading". Maybe you can help me navigate to the right place once at hp.com? I don't imagine I can get the removal tool from anywhere else?

Also, when I right click on Hp Solution Center, it brings me to a file called hpqdirec which is an Application, date modified 10/19/07. CC won't let me remove that either, but it will allow me to uninstall anything else.

Is there a manual way to remove my All-in-One printer software?

Works for me ????
No way to remove it manually that I know of

[linsjean]

I appreciate your help Noyb, but your link is not working for me. can you go to hp.com and tell me how to navigate to get to that place where I can email HP about the removal tool?

Is this what your looking for?

Or maybe this one...

Wowser, Thanks. I think your first link is correct. Can you make sure that is for Vista operating system? It does not say.

[DaveA]

If you go to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...roduct=3418705

There should be a drop down for you to select the operating system.

Yes, Vista, and Vista 64 bit are both in the dropdown.

DavdA:

Thanks, but the link you gave me leads me to the printer software. I am looking to remove my printer software from a Image Zone Removal tool for Vista 32 bit.

I finally got an email back from HP. They need my product serial number off my printer. I will take it from here and let you know if I get this resolved! thanks.

Kind of a strange question as you only need the software removeal tool for Vista. Of course it's dependent on how you worded your email to them.

[linsjean]

All I said was I am hoping you can send me the Image Zone Removal tool and gave them the name of my OS and the printer I have. I just now replied with that information to them. We'll see.
