Hi,

 

I hope someone can help me!

 

I have an HPG60 notebook, HP G60-214EM..

Since the creation of the recovery disks few days ago, a pop-up from HP Product assistant continously comes up saying "the featureyou are to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insertthe "HP Product Assistant" disk and click ok.

No disk has been provided to me along with the notebook, therefore I've tried to click on "OK"and, being this unseccesful, on "cancel", also unsuccesful.

Then another pop-up comes saying "An installation package for the product HPProductAssitant cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package "HPProductAssistant.msi".

 

I've followed the instructions of HP Consumer Support, but it is suggested to download "Full Feature Software and Drivers package" which I can't find in the HP downloading page.

 

Where can I get this missing file?

Can somebody help? Please bear in mind that I'm not a pc expert.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Andrea

hi,

Click on start and choose Run.

Type msconfig and press enter. Go to bottom run and find this software on the lis. Uncheck it on the left side and click ok that's all.

 Hi Daniel,

 

in the "msconfig" there is no "HP Product Assistant". I've unchecked "HPWuSchd2", but does not solve the problem.

 

Thanks again,


Andrea

OK. I have fixed this before in the past for desktops. If you have an hp printer you use follow the steps below.

 

This is what you need to do.

 

This is a problem related to the HP printer software/driver not installing properly/finishing properly.

 

So first disconnect the HP printer if u have one.

Next go to Control, Panel, Uninstall a Program or Programs and just remove the HP Desktop or Laserjet whatever printer you got and when it's finished restart the computer.

 

Once you log in, go online to hp.com search for your printer on the top right corner and put in your printer model number or product number name and click Drivers and Downloads and choose your Operating System and download and install the full package.

 

Be sure to save the file to your desktop and run it when finished. May take a while to download.

 

So when it's finished install it and during the middle of the installation it will ask you to turn on the printer and connect so do that when reboot when prompted to and wait for the installation to finish.

 

After this it should work fine and the error shouldn't come up.

 

Make sure you're able to print and that the printer is set to be the default printer in Control panel.

 

Hope this helps.
