HP CUE Device Discovery Service HPQDDSVC Hangs

HP CUE Device Discovery Service HPQDDSVC error pops up after starting windows and might cause your system to hang up. At times your Hp printer might also disappear from the printer folder in windows vista and also you can see a recurring installation of the hardware. I assume HPQDDSVC is the service to detect the hp devices and configure the detected devices to the HP Solution Center.

As a temporary workaround for HP CUE Device Discovery Service HPQDDSVC error, you can try disabling the service from the services window. Follow the below steps to disable the HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service HPQDDSVC service.

Click on Start--->Run(in case of vista type services.msc in search above the start)
Type Services.msc in Run
Windows Service will open
Find the HP CUE Device Discovery Service
Right-click on HP CUE Device Discovery Service and click Properties.
In the Next window
For Startup type select Disabled.
Click Apply then close the Window.
Restart your computer.

I will keep posted here if i find a better workaround or path to fix this particular issue.

Nvidia XFX 8800GT Blank Display and Monitor Shuts Off

If you are reading this post, you might be facing a similar issue like myself with Nvidia GeForce XFX 8800GT where the monitor goes blank and shuts off after loading the operating system or playing game for just 15 or even 5 minutes.

Before the monitor goes blank your mouse might hang up and become unresponsive, some time the BOD(blue screen of death).Thequcik specifications are NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB DDR3 PCI Express Graphics 2.0 Alpha Dog Edition.

Interesting thing to notice is that the CPU keeps running, the only way to see the activity on the monitor or screen is to restart/reboot the PC or power cycle. This post will be useful to troubleshoot and diagnose the issue whether it is a faulty XFX 8800gt or your cpu box.

Things that you need to check.

1)Try Updating your nvidia 8800gt graphic card drivers to the latest available version.
2)Try Changing the ram on your mother board to a different slots(if available), if possible replace with other ram
3)Check Your Monitor cables are tightly plugged and also check your monitor supports the frequecy of the display.(Today most of the displays are lcd and tft, that should not be a issue)

The Nvidia 8800gt Display Support Specifications:

Maximum Digital Resolution	2560x1600
Maximum VGA Resolution	2048x1536
Standard Display Connectors	Dual Link DVI HDTV
Multi Monitor
HDCP
HDMI	Via adapter
Audio Input for HDMI	SPDIF

If none of the above troubleshooting steps worked, its definitely a faulty 8800gt graphic card, get the replacement from your reseller. I had no issues after getting my 8800gt replaced.you can get involved in the discussion about the 8800GT Blank Display and Monitor Shuts Off using the below comments section

When it comes to reviews and ratings of 8800GT, it absolutely rocks.The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT has the perfect combination of power, performance, and price.I rate 4.5/5

Destination Component Has Stopped Working-Scanning To PDF

Destination component has stopped working error when scanning to PDF, encountered the same error when trying to save a scanned file to pdf format using my 6300 series all-in-one. though the pdf file is saved in the destination folder, when tried to open with adobe acrobat reader it says "Adobe Reader could not open pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file was damaged". As a blind shoot i opened the file though it says the file size is 0 kb

Not sure what exactly is causing the Destination component has stopped working error.Eager to find the solution, is it the adobe acrobat reader or the HP Software unable to find the destination program(pdf program). I tried reinstallaing both the applications adobe as well as HP Software by downloading from the web with no luck.

One way i could get it worked once is to repair the destination software. I did this by going to temp file folder(when you double click on the downloaded hp software file, extraction takes place and places the extracted files in the temp folder)

You can access the temp folder by clicking on start-->Run---> type "%temp%" without quotes and hit enter.This will bring up the temp folder, go to 7zS0B06\setup\destinations folder(in case of 6300 series)should find two files in the destination folder data1 and destination installer package.

Right click on executable desitnation installer package file and click on repair(if you are asked for the destination.msi during repair browse to the same location of destination.msi and click on Ok to continue the repair.) you might need to restart your pc if required.

I will post any possible solution here if i find , use the below comments section to discuss and post the solutions if any.

HP MediaSmart TV Resident Program Has Stopped Working

You might get the HP MediaSmart TV Resident Program Has Stopped Working error message. The following the solution which worked for most of the users who has been with the HP DV-7 DV-5 and DV-3 entertainment laptops. HP MediaSmart TV Software update is available for download at HP, the package provides an update to the HP MediaSmart TV Software for the supported notebook/laptop models and operating systems.

Inaddition to the HP MediaSmart TV Resident Program Has Stopped Working error, the following are the fixes in this update.Download the patch to resolve the issue.

HP MediaSmart TV Software
Release Date: 2009-03-05 Version: 2.1.1409
Download file size: 50.16M
sp42505 1/1 (50.16M)
System Requirements

HP MediaSmart TV Software must already be installed on the notebook/laptop

Fixes

Updates the iChannel download mechanism so that it works as follows:

1. When HP MediaSmart TV (MSTV) launches, MSTV asks the TVAgent to download provider.xml and all channellist.xml.

2. When an XML file is downloaded, TVAgent records the time of the download.

3. For the same XML file, TVAgent checks to determine if this file was downloaded more than 12 hours ago. If not, TVAgent will re-download it. If yes,TVAgent will do nothing.

4. When the user enters the iChannel folder, MSTV asks TVAgent to download the necessary thumbnails in that folder. Thumbnails in the sub-folder do not download in this case.

5. For the same thumbnail (PreviewPath is the same), TVAgent does not re-download the file.

6. When MSTV is closed, MSTV asks TVAgent to stop downloading. (TVAgent finishes the current ongoing task, and then stops until MSTV is alive again.) TVAgent does not download anything when MSTV is not running.

The following are the supported operating systems for this update.

Operating system(s): Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista Starter, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic (64-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Business (64-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise (64-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise (32-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Business (32-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
