The only old thing that would be on there would be a previous printer. I
went into System Info .. Hardware... and everything had OK beside it. I did
however see two old printers still on there. A Dell Printer and an HP Desk
Jet. So I will unistall those two. As the HP All in One is all I have
hooked up.
There was a sub category under printers called 'Problem Devices' Which
showed up no name just the following:
Under Device:
Not Available

Under PNP Device ID:
ROOT/IMAGE/0000

Under Error Code:
The drivers for this device are not installed

Open your Help and support, click start Help and support. Look for the

information....
Then, in the left side pane click on System Information, then 'Find hardware
on your installed on your computer.
You'll see a status bar while data is being collected. Everything you have
installed will be listed, look for anything that either says unknown, or has
any indicators that there is a conflict, you should at least be able to see
what type of device it is by the category that it's in.
Okay, so you know you have the camera and the All-In-One, did have anything
else at one time hooked up to your computer...fax machine, cd burner, old
printer?
There is an uninstall option, you will find it in the device manager, go to
imaging devices, expand the group by clicking the + sign, highlight the
device and right clickuninstall...but lets try to find out what it is
first.

HI Ivee! I was able to get to device manager with your new instructions.
And find Properties. No problem at all. Question about the driver
update.
There were 3 things listed under imaging device. The All in One HP. The
Camera. Unknown device. The one that had a Yellow Warning wasn't the
camera. It was the third thing listed. The Unknown Device. I tried to
udate the driver on it but no hardware could be found for it. So I
disabled
it. Is there a way to remove it? Not sure how to do that if I don't know
what it is. lol Or am I totally off here? Is it the camera because it
was
below it?? I didn't think so because it was stemming directly from
Imaging
Devices like the other two. Not stemming from the camera. I'll be
going
to town today and will get the other items needed to go through the rest
of
the suggestions in the post. Thanks!

You were still able to get to device manager, so that's good, but I may
not
have given good instructions. Go to Start. My Computer ..highlight MY
Computer, and while it's highlighted, right click, then at the bottom of
that box that opens, properties will be listed..if it isn't working, post
back.

Okay, with device manager open, and the image device selected , go to the
Driver Tab, and update the driver.

If that doesn't do the trick,, remove your digital camera..you may have
an
icon in your system tray..it's located in the lower right corner of your
screen, near the time, and other entries might be Zone Alarm, your
Antivirus..anyway it's green and if you click on it will say Safely
remove
hardware..or something like that. Before you remove your camera, see if
it's listed there..follow the instructions about remove the camera, and
when
that's done it's safe to unplug it from your computer. Then uninstall the
software, it should have an uninstall file. See if the error is
corrected.

Now, as far as those errors you posted..you did a good job! Everything
you
need to know, or do is right there.
The printer...fro example..

To find the vendors

In Control Panel, open Printers and Faxes.
Right-click the appropriate printer and then click Properties.
On the Advanced tab, clear the Enable advanced printing features check
box.
Rather than going thru all this...are you able to uninstall your printer
for
any length of time? When you're not working? Because, if it's a
hardware
conflict, in my opinion, the easiest way to pinpoint it is to remove each
piece of hardware, one at a time, waiting in between to see if the
problem
persists. Process of Elimination.
Sadly, it likely is bad ram...don't panic, it's no big deal. But, it
might
be that your cpu is overheating...it might need to be cleaned, lots of
dust
can build up and cause the fans to not work as well as it should. You pc
must be powered off,, unplugged and then you need to ground yourself,
touch
the case or something before you open the cpu...then, having purchased a
can
of air from a computer store ( of course you'll want to do that before
you
open the cpu ) spray the dust out of your pc. And if your tower is
kept
in a closed compartment of a desk, open the door to let the air vent
better.
Back to ram..
Get your Dell manual, look for Ram..it will tell you what type you have,
and
how to remove and replace it. If you go to a computer store, like Best
Buy,
or Circuit City..I don't know what you have in your neck of the woods..
they
will be able to help you. Your pc either came with 1, or 2 sticks of
ram.
If it came with two, you can, after reading your manual, remove
one...then
wait to see if the pc acts up. If it doesn't, then you know that stick
is
bad...if it does, then replace that stick, and remove the
other..elimination
don't ya know!.. If one, or both are bad, you can replace them with new.

Okay.. this is weird. I couldn't get to Device Manager in the way you
told
me. When I clicked on My Com there was no 'Properties' there that I
could
find. After some looking I found it this way. Start; Control Panel;
Performance & Maint; System; Hardware; Device Manager That brought
up
its
own little box which has all the different part etc... I opened them
all
and the only thing I saw was one yellow exclamation point. Under
imaging
devices:
Agfa e photo 1280 Digitial Camera
hp psc 1310 series
**Yellow !** Unknown Device

Did I do this correctly?? One other thing. I've not unistalled the
HP
All
in One yet. I'm a PS on eBay and have to ship daily and need it to
print
shipping labels. I will catch up today on all printing and unistall it
as
suggested. No shut downs since the last time I posted one. A couple
days
ago I believe.
