pallavsuri Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Well i've just given up using HPs buggy software and using built in drivers of Vista. Working fine now. FYI found this on the net regarding file in concern with the error. HPZDUI01.EXE - HP Installer Driver UI Plug-In. Program used by the drivers installation program for some HP printers. In principle this program should not be running after the program has been installed properly and the PC rebooted but, unfortunately, on a few PC it does continue to run nevertheless.Recommendation :This program originates from a particular range of drivers whose installation were problematic at the best of times. The annoying thing about having this program running when it should not, is that when it is running there are two other of its siblings which run also, HPZNUI01.EXE, and HPZOPT01.EXE, and those 3 programs together use up to 34Mb of memory unnecessarily.Problem : These programs belong to a particular set of HP drivers which are notoriously buggy and unless you have a lot of time on your hands, and patience, we recommend living with the problem and not attempting to correct it. Seriously !If you have A LOT OF TIME on your hands, however, and you are patient, and you have Windows XP or Windows Vista, and you are an advanced user, and you are prepared for your printer NOT to work again (!!!), then you could try picking up the latest HP drivers from our Drivers page and uninstalling your current drivers, rebooting, and re‑installing your printer. Remember, though, from our experience and that of other users, there is a more than 50% chance that it won’t be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
