OK, knowing you upgraded to windows 8. Connection manager doesn't come with Win8. 

 

Windows 8 has a built in connection manager in the charms bar you can use. When you installed Win8 you should have got an error message asking to repair the application.

 

I should have told you that earlier, I was confused with the entire issue and you only had 1 simple question. Sorry !

What? I don't see it in the charms bar. Where is it?

What? You expect me to read something! 😉

 

Thanks! *Kudos* for you! I'll go through it but don't be surprised if I come back with more questions. 🙂

That's fine. Thanks for the KUDOS.

 

This might help you out or sum up that entire document.

The Black Bar on the right is the charms bar.

 

There you go 🙂

Maybe I'm dense, but where do I find this fix? My computer,Envy 6 sleekbook, keeps sending me an error message ever since I switched to Windows 8.

Hi sewright2013:

 

Thank you for your inquiry. I am pleased to help you!

 

If you read the first post on page 2, you will note, that lions99 informed you, it does not work with Windows 8, as it has its on built in. Here is a document on "Learning How to Use Windows 8 Features and Apps"   click here. You can remove  or uninstall the HP connection manager. You can run the" HP Support Assistant" to aid in updates and resolving issues. click here.  I hope this helps.
