Program (Explorer, Notrpad, any) "stopped working" window on the print request or Ctrl-P

Vista operating system. Whenever I try to print, menu, Ctrl-P or other, I get a window saying that the program has ceased to operate and close the program. Have done a lot of things to fix: reinstall the printer, download the new driver, repair of boot F8 system, return to previous IE, chat with HP since it is a HP printer, cursing, stand up on my fu... en ' head. The devil won't go away.

Hi BikeBun,
 
1. the problem occurs only on the above requests?
2. what changes have been made to your machine before the problem?
 
I suggest that you follow the steps mentioned below.
 
Step 1:
It can also be caused by a software application third party in conflict with the printer. I wish that you perform clean boot on your computer in order to eliminate conflicts of third party software.
 
Note: Follow step 7 to reboot your machine as usual.
 
Step 2:
Test the issue in a new user account.

Step 3:
 
Perform the scan SFC to verify if this is caused by a lack or a damaged system file.

  • HP CSI Shell has stopped working - cannot install the printer driver

    I just bought a printer LaserJet MFP M127fw Pro, but the installation of the pilot program still crashes. I tried 3 different modes of driver installation: the installation CD install HP Smart (USB) and download online, but I keep getting the same error.

    10-15 seconds after I start the driver installation, a pop-up Windows appears, advising me that:
    "HP CSI Shell has stopped working".

    I called HP customer care and they post in the computer section of the Support Forums.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    I have a HP Media Center PC with Windows 7 64 bit.

    Update:

    I tried the feature "Add a printer" windows default in Control Panel, and my printer is finally functional - only when used wireless. However, if I connect the USB cable from my printer, it will be recognized as a different printer and always unsuccessfully installed the drivers for it.

    If it works wirelessly, it is good enough for me.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    The question error codes and the description that you get suggests that you are facing problem when using MSE. This problem may occur if other security software, such as antivirus, antispyware and antimalware programs, are totally or partially installed on the computer.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.
