hpC309a-computer slows to a crawl after the restart of the impression must each time

I don't know much about computers, my husband installed the wireless c309a.  The printer seems to work very well even though I have not tried the scannner, but after printing a document, my computer is very slow.  Opening a document may take a few minutes.  The internet is too slow.  I get the error messages often on the internal memory is too low.  I have to reboot to get it to normal and can not keep the printer.  Restart takes about 20 minutes for all the error messages which are erect and things are difficult to close.  Help - I'm a real novice computer, but I know that the problem is the printer / wireless.  I had to uninstall it and reinstall, but that doesn't seem to help.

It is a program that runs in the background that monitors your printer use (always).  It can severely degrade the performance of your computer, especially if you have very little RAM.

Go to start, Control Panel, add/remove programs.

Select the HP Customer Participation program and uninstall it.

Restart your computer.

To find out how much RAM you have, click Start, right-click computer, and select Properties.

On this page, it will tell you how much RAM you have.  512 MB is the minimum, one less is good, too little.

    Hi Peggy,

    Download the product can be done immediately, however if you bought the subscription, you must wait to activate the product until the payment goes through, and the same goes for a perpetual license product once the payment goes through you will receive your serial number to activate the product.

  • computer does not work properly after the update, because the screen is black.

    Advice please! :-(

    After an update there about 2 months, my computer has never worked properly after that I turned it back. My windows start page is longer there. My screen is black. The words are only in white and fluorescent yellow...

    The only way I can go online to find Norton (is always at the bottom of the black screen) and go to help. I can get a search bar like that. Almost as if this black screen hides everything below.  Computer is 13 months old.

    My internet provider says it isn't them. Gateway said it's not my computer so idk what happened after this update.

    Any advice would be so appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi Patty,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I would be grateful if you can answer these questions.

    1. You have installed the latest drivers for Windows 8?
    2. What is the model number for Gateway computer?

    If you get a black screen after upgrade to Windows 8, it might be due to an outdated or incompatible graphics card driver. Update to the latest version of the display driver should fix this.

    Try to remove all external devices connected to the computer and then try to start the computer and check if it works. Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1: To resolve this problem, update the Gateway website. video card driver

    Step 1: Check out these Microsoft items for additional reference:

    Download and install the drivers

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/all-drivers

    Step 2: If you are not able to find drivers for Windows 8 to HP support. Try to install the graphics drivers in compatibility mode and check:

    Download your applications and devices in Windows 8.1

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/get-apps-devices-working

    If the problem persists, proceed to the next method.

    Method 2: I suggest to follow the suggestions provided in this Microsoft KB article and check if this can help:

  • THUMBNAILS VIDEO DISAPPEARED AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF REAL TIME

    After you have installed the latest version of "Real Time Player" which is an upgrade to 'Real Player of cloud', all the video thumbnails are not visible on a single computer. 'Real time' has been installed on two computers with almost identical Windows 7 Home Premium and processors within minutes of each other.  A computer kept all video thumbnails while the other did not. So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled in real time, uninstalled and reinstalled Real Cloud, but still no thumbnail previews. I also tried the verification of the method 'display only the photos '.  I'm looking for someone who's hands are successful on empirical knowledge for this question. Thank you.

    Stanley,

    Here's a recent update on my original investigation.

    After an upgrade of RealTimes Player RealPlayer Cloud download failed to produce thousands of miniature video generated by RealPlayer cloud, I immediately started looking for answers in this forum of Microsoft.

    I have two new computers HP here on my desk. A computer has received the RealTimes Player download and continued to display thumbnails. This is the second HP computer that the thumbnails are not visible.

    Several answers to this problem repeated the same methods. I tried these methods more than once and still no pictures. Then I took action on your message and another someone from Real.com contact Real.com. The only way to contact Real.com was by email on their website. I sent them an email describing the problem. Now, it's my experience that Real.com has even good tech support for free download of RealPlayer. Their first suggestions were identical to the information I received Microsoft community. Following is a concise list of end to end on how I solved the problem before Real.com phoned for help, which may have included access remotely:

    (1) download the RealTimes Player "new" (that's their latest version of RealPlayer cloud;) I know now I should have stayed with cloud of RealPlayer).

    (2) a computer downloaded without any problems, while the second computer lost all thumbnails.

    (3) I contact Microsoft Community to get answers.

    (4) community Microsoft sends answers, including and meet someone from Real.com.

    (5) none of the above gives a solution.

    (6) I am Real.com e-mail for a few days through their website with no solutions.

    (7) I have uninstall RealTimes Player on both computers.

    (7) I call the HP Technical Support to make a 'system restore' on computers.

    (8) after the "System Restore", I reinstall MSE, and all thumbnails are restored on the computer and three external hard drives. All thumbnails are Windows Media files. None of the hundreds of RealPlayer Cloud files can be opened.

    (9) Real.com offers to call me at one time that I choose, which may include remote access to my computer.

    (10) I answer Real.com Friday that a time to call will be the following Monday.

    (11) the following Monday at the appointed hour, Real.com has not called. I waited 30-40 minutes. While I was waiting, I've been on the Real.com site read comments in the section "RealPlayer/RealPlayerCloud. In a response from Real.com Tech to one of the speakers, they gave to this speaker a link to download RealPlayer Cloud. I took a chance with this link and downloaded RealPlayer Cloud in my computer, not only did the Windows Media thumbnails remain, but I was able to play all audio Real Player and video files, and the "Download this video" button a drop down of RealPlayer has been restored. I turned so my attention on the other computer, clicked on a download link that says Cloud RealPlayer on Real.com Web site, and when the download is complete, it was the new RealTimes Player again, not RealPlayer Cloud. But, all right. All thumbnails are back in this computer while being able to play all Real Player files. Now, a computer has the 'new' RealTimes Player and the other has the original cloud of RealPlayer.

    (12) after all this was over, and two computers were back to normal, the representative of Real.com called (almost two hours late; he was on another call that lasted longer than normal). I explained that while you wait for him to call, I reinstalled Real Player on both computers and everything was back to normal. I mentioned reinstalling RealPlayer cloud on the other computer and it recommended that all was well under way, for whatever. I agree with you.

    (13) since the call of the representative, Real.com has sent me a couple of times and told me they were happy that the problem has been resolved and do not hesitate to contact them for any future problems. I asked for a download link for RealPlayer cloud which they sent a warning that they were not certain if the link has an expiration date, but to contact them for any problems or questions.

    (14) although I have Google Chrome on a single computer, all my audio/video download through RealPlayer Cloud/RealTimes drive is via Internet Explorer, not Google Chrome. I prefer the drop-down menu "Download this video" button at the edge of the screen in Internet Archive rather than the barely visible button at the top to the center of the page in Google Chrome.

    Microsoft 15 community) thanks and Real.com.

    (16) a lesson learned. When everything works fine, why switch?

    ericelectrician, I would like firstly to uninstall the printer from the computer entirely. First unplug the USB cord (if one is used). Then make sure that all related files or programs are completely deleted or removed from programs and features, devices and printers and Device Manager. Then, restart the computer.

    Do not connect the USB cable until the software asks.

    Then go to http://goo.gl/lnSmX and find your appropriate drivers and software for your particular printer model. They are all available as free downloads. You will want to use the "Full Feature" of the software version.

  • Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

    Hello everyone,

    the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

    1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
    2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

    I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

    At this point, I ask:

    1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
    2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

    Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

    I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

    Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

    With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
