hpnetworkcommunicator .exe comes on and off in my task manager...

My pointer icon changes changes to an icon that is animated whenever my computer is working on something. After installing my new officejet wireless 4620... This animated icon just keeps going and turns off constantly. I opened my task manager to see what worked, and I found the file hpnetworkcommunicator.exe appearing and disappearing as my animated icon went on and outside.

I have a dell xps Windows xp 3

Is there a way to stop what is happening... is a little boring?

Thank you

There is a version recent software that corrects this "Hourglass" or "blue circles" mouser cursor behavior.

I suggest you go here to find the latest software for your hp printer: http://h20614.www2.hp.com/ediags/gmd/welcome.aspx?

For users who may be affected by similar behavior on another product, new software has been published for many inkjet printers HP (corresponding with the release of Windows 8) which corrects this problem.

If a newer version of the software is available for your product, I strongly suggest to install.

Best regards, Kent G.

  • Plugin container keeps constantly appearing and disappearing in my task manager, causing the major downturn and preventing loading videos. Help?

    When you go to many websites, including N4G.com and Royalroadl.com, my browser will slow down suddenly, and container plugin firefox will Flash quickly on and off tension in my task manager, too fast to turn it off manually.
    The only way to solve this problem, so far, has been to stop the page from loading before a certain point.

    This also prevents many videos loading and the major slowdown. He has only started to happen after I have updated to the latest version of Firefox, and disabling all plug-ins and extensions did not resolve the issue.

    My current version is 40.0.3.
    Someone knows how to easily return to the most recent version without problems?

    Edit: Both, I found the solution!

    I went into the plug-ins for Firefox, went into the menu Options for the Shockwave Flash plug-in and disabled Protected Mode.

    For some stupid reason, Protected Mode was the thing causing videos blocked and slowdown.

    Spread this solution for anyone with similar problems, please!

    original title: iexplorer.exe.

    everytime I open a sometimes three iexplorer.exe two Web site. Open in the Task Manager process is this normal or is one of them not supposed to run?

    Hi danielgirard,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have a security software on the computer?

    3. it happens with any site that you open it?

    Method 1

    Every new Internet Explorer window that you open will create a new entry iexplorer.exe in the Task Manager.

    I suggest that you scan the computer for malware or virus infections and check if it helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    You can also use Microsoft Security databases to scan your computer

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/MSE.aspx

    Method 2

    If the above does not help, then perform the clean boot procedure to verify if a third-party program installed on the computer is the origin of the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Second firefox.exe appearing in the process in Windows Task Manager...

    Hi all!

    I started facing this problem a few days ago and do not know what is the cause:

    In my Windows Task Manager, there are two firefox.exe that appear under the process (under Applications, Firefox only appears once). I used to complete the process to close each of the firefox.exe that appear and the result was special. Depending on whether one I finish, either the window closes completely as well as all tabs or hangs the tab that is currently open and I get the message: "bad new first: this tab broke down."

    I scanned my computer with AVG for viruses and everything was clean back. I've also scanned with ESET for malware and nothing was found.

    Any idea what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

    I noticed that when my PC is idle, conhost.exe starts on 5 times in Manager tasks. This opens also cmd.exe and taskeng.exe with it so when I close conhost.exe, the other 2 farm as well. Norton EAST, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Scanner grew nothing and even when processes are running, it does not affect the performance of my PC.

  • Re: HPNetworkCommunicator.exe

    On a new one-week-old Officejet Pro 8600 Plus,.

    I had a very similar experience, but a laptop was not involved, but rather 3 desktops WIRELESS networking.  The first computer has no problem, but both the second and third computers on which I loaded the printing software have the problem.  When the printer is not turned on (similar to the laptop used off-site) these 2 computers show in 'processes' in the Windows 7 Task Manager which
    HPNetworkCommunicator.exe
    TRYING to 'run' about the intervals of 10 seconds when the printer is NOT TURNING ON
    and that causes a "busy indicatorgreen circle" to run (as the hourglass with slider) which is very annoying to say the least.

    As soon as the printer is on the Windows 7 task manager then shows a SECOND instance of

    HPNetworkCommunicator.exe

    added to the list of the 'process' with TWO instances of

    HPNetworkCommunicator.exe

    stabilized and the "busy indicatorgreen circle" is not running every 10 seconds.

    The first computer that is not the problem is NOT ALL instances of

    HPNetworkCommunicator.exe

    running (or trying to run) in the Windows 7 task manager - not with the printer TURNED OFF or TURNED ON.

    At this point, I'm tempted to uninstall all the info from the printer by number of computers 2 and 3 and do a "clean" from the installation CD install or maybe just the drivers only and I hope NOT to do something in the printer software installed on several computers 2 and 3 I had the chance to not choose on machine number 1.

    I'm sorry to hear that support did not help.  And glad to hear two changes did the trick:

    I found there is now a HP document explaining the two actions.

  • Toilet Bowl Flushing cursor dllhost.exe (Com Surrogate) question

    My system still be plagued by an erratic problem where when I right click on an icon of office, or the arrow that develops a folder in Microsoft Explorer, the cursor will be starts to turn and does not stop until I go in the Manager of tasks and select DllHost.exe (COM Surrogate) and select "END process". This way I can describe the cursor to this place is that it looks like water when you flush the toilet! As soon as I close COM surrogate the cursor returns to normal and I am able to continue then all operations without problem. It seems that this happens more frequently when I had Internet Explorer open. Things I did to solve this problem are the following:

    1. Done a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit and all programs. S
    2. Updated all drivers and programs to their latest revisions.
    3. Run Malwarebytes, an anti Root Kit MRT and Windows Defender Of-Line (booted from DVD) and find all own.
    4. Perform a clean boot.
    5. sfc/scannow

    Other suggestions for something try to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    From your post, it seems that you are facing problems with dllhost.exe (Com Surrogate).

    Try these steps and check:

    Method 1:

    To find out if the problem is with windows or some hardware connected to the computer, I would say that you look up the number in safe mode . If the problem occurs in Mode safe, then one of the Windows Service can cause the problem.

    Method 2:

    You can also go into Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and disable DEP for COM surrogate. To change the setting of the DEP and for more information on DEP check the links provided.

  • (Processes and Services) Task Manager tabs

    I am running "Vista Home Premium" on my laptop and have recently noticed that my hard drive runs continuously in the background. The light is constantly on and I hear the player running. I would like to learn more about how to read and let you the 'Task Manager' tabs as process, Services and more particularly the Performance section. Where can I go online to learn more about them or someone will give a brief overview? Keep in mind that I've already followed the previous instructions and cleaned my startup and services in "MSCONFIG" and took other measures to keep my free disk of software and spyware malware.

    Here is some information that will give you more of an insight:

    To see which tasks are running, open a run window (Windows Logo key + R), type cmd /k tasklist/SVC (note the three spaces) and press ENTER. Close the command prompt when you finish the consultation.

    To get a better description of the associated services, access (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) Task Manager > processes tab and on a specific Svchost, right click > go to service (s) to see all the Services, which are highlighted.

    You can also use Process Explorer to see what services are running. To view the svchost process, leave the mouse pointer over each svchost.exe pointer in the left pane. Download from herehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

    Hello

    Restart in safe mode and run the antivirus scans here. You have symptoms of an infected machine. Scanning in safe mode will reduce efforts of the virus to avoid detection.

    To restart in safe mode, restart normally, and when the system resets you can press the F8 key. It is point immediately after the screen logo POST or manufacturer initial of the system, and just before Windows starts to load. This will give you a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode.

    While you're here, you must also download and run the tool free malwarebytes here:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (choose Safe mode with networking to do this). He can catch something that lack of MSE, no security tool is perfect.

  • SOLUTION EXPLORER. EXE must always run at the start of the TASK MANAGER after the LOGIN/WELCOME screen.

    Trying to restore the empty desktop icons by the recommendations, I have a white screen with a pointer after login and WELCOME screen.  CTRL-SHIFT-ESC gives me the TASK MANAGER. and I returned 'explorer.exe' I then the full desktop with white icons.  I need to do this every time I have start or restart the PC. I checked the regedit and the only entry to WINLOG, SHELL is "Explorer.exe" any ideas about a problem?  Thank you!

    Hi Eric1029,

    You can check if the following registry entries are correct.

    a. open the start menu, in the search bar type regedit, and then press ENTER.

    b. navigate to the following location and check the entries for "Shell" and "Userinit" on the right pane:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    "Shell" ="Explorer.exe" (REG_SZ)

    'Userinit"="C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe '.

    c. also check if you have the correct permission for this registry key (winlogon)

    d. right-click and select permission. Make sure that at least with that you have group administrators, system and installer of confidence with full control and users group read permission.

    e. check if you are able to launch explorer.exe in the window running in the Task Manager.

    Important: The above method contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow the steps from the link below:
