HP Support Assistant Scan froze the computer

HP Pavilion model 55710f; Windows 7.  The HP Support Assistant scan started and was still scanning after four hours, even if the information box said that everything was OK on my computer.  Early on, the computer froze once and the clock gadget on my desktop has stopped working.   He then thawed, but the clock didn't work.  I checked it four hours later, and it was still scanning.  I tried to stop, and he froze with nothing else than the blue screen of Windows display. I finally unplugged/replugged the computer and, so far, is fine.  What has gone wrong?  Thank you.

Hello mamassey,

I'd love to be able to tell you with complete certainty what happened, but we probably won't. The fact is sometimes programs everything works perfectly and cause errors and glitch.

If the problem continues to happen as every time that you run the Support assistant it freezes and causes issues, then we have a problem, now that we have just a random appearance of a program of 100% working perfectly.

  • Office Jet 7612: Scan of the computer does not work after you win 10 improvement

    One of my clients has an officejet 7612 and has improved to win 10 to win 8 and lost the "Scan to PC" features themselves the printer he used for years to create his PDF files.

    Print and scan drivers seem to work to scan and print from the computer to the printer, but the printer software that was authorized to create PDF and JPEG of the scanner and send them to the computer doesn't seem to work.

    Is there any solution for this?

  • Cannot scan to the computer. Photosmart 6510

    I have just purchase a photosmart 6510 and I cannot scan to the computer.  The printer tells me that I need to activate this via the printer software.  I know that I have installed all the software from the disc supplied.

    I can't find where I have activate the scan of the computer on my laptop.  Support information tells me to click the icon for the printer to my desktop, I do not have!  I tried going through the control panel and impossible to find something there.

    I go in the HP folder in my Start menu and click on scan HP that I get the following message "the machine HP photosmart 6510 series is not found".  I don't have a problem with printing at all.

    Tried to start printing and scanning of doctor and who did not make a difference. (In fact, the scan option came not on it).

    How can I fix this please?  I'm running Windows Vista Home premium.

    Hello.  Thanks for your reply.

    I've sorted really the problem now.  But let me explain what it was.

    I tried tool doctor who recommended you after browsing these forums, without success.  In fact, when I ran the scanner, he told me that he had no problem with printing, but there was no mention of the scanning anywhere.

    In fact, I uninstalled all HP software, removed the printer from my control panel.  Then reinstalled the software from the disc and then installed the printer again (I did things the opposite of the front walkway).  And the scanner function now works.

  • "The scan of the computer is enabled is no longer" false error

    Hello

    I bought and installed a HP DeskJet 3521. It is configured for wifi connectivity to two computers on our home network. A laptop computer is 8 64-bit Windows. The other is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    The printer seems to work perfectly. However, the driver regularly (as in all the several minutes or so) pops up a message saying "the Scan of the computer is enabled is no longer" or something like that. It is apparent from the system tray. It fades after a few seconds. Otherwise the printer seems to work very well. This happens on two laptops.

    Laptops are in the same room as the printer and the router. The signal strength is high.

    Why did this message occurring and is there a solution for this?

    Thank you

    It is very probably the same problem I had with the HP printers for years.  It happens when the printer goes into a power saving sleep state and falls of connectivity.  To resolve the issue, you have to walk on the printer and the power of the cycle.  It has NOTHING to do with your router or static/dynamic IP allocation.  It's the fault of crappy entiely firmware and HP software.  HP 'experts' are playing the same game of blame-the-other-manufacturer or blame the old user that HP has always played.

    My current HP printer is the third HP sub-standard product I've owned... on three (Yes, I know, shame on me twice).  I've owned a high-end, expensive laptop which overheated during playback of a video to youtube and two printers which disengages automatically when they entered in the mode 'sleep'.  It will be the last HP product I already own...

  • HP envy 5530: impossible to activate scan of the computer!

    I have a macbook air and I wanted my hp 5530 for a few years and it has worked very well. Then I was unable to scan directly to my macbook, so I followed the instructions of troubleshooting - uninstalled the hp software and then re-installed. After the 3rd re - install, scan to computer worked for a day and now I can't do it again!

    Hello
    The HP scanning application is not compatible with Sierra, so you may experience problems.
    Remove the HP scanning by moving it to the trash, then empty the trash.

    Instead install HP Easy Scan below, it will be installed in the Applications folder:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/installations/Essentials/HP-easy-scan-1_7_0.pkg

    If you experience additional problems, ensure that the latest version of the software is installed by following HP Easy Start below:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/applications/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip

    Finally, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date by clicking the Apple icon, select about this Mac and then press on software update.
    Click on the Bank on the menu bar, click Reload Page, click all update if an update is available.

    Kind regards
