HP Registration

[dabaerman]

well, HP has another dissatisfied customer. I recently reinstalled the printer drivers from the original cd. now I get this annoying registration pop-up that wont let me register the printer. a call to customer support, in INDIA, I was told that the printer was 1000+ days out of warranty. now according to 'customer support' it would take a tech to fix the problem, BUT, the printer is out of warranty and nothing can be done.

help me remove the following;

res://C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqwrg.rsc/register.htm.

I can't find the file using normal methods and cannot get rid of this annoying pop-up.

Damn! I hate it when that happens! Sorry I can't help Ron.

Looks like more than annoying to me, it's more like sabotage. So you can't delete the entire driver and install an older driver? Sorry if that's a stupid Q.

It looks as though the actual file you are looking for is: hpqwrg.rsc

the /register.htm could be a pointer to another file, or a flag for the popup.

You should be able to rename the hpqwrg.rsc, and it should stop those problems, either that or remove the pointer.

Just make sure you write down what you do incase you need to change it back.

Any luck with this prob, Dabaerman? Makes me want an HP printer, not.

Had a cheapO HP printer for around 8 years, never install more than the drivers! ":O

Something to help:

What you can do to delete that files, is right click on the file and click "open at file location". There you can delete your file...

Welcome to AOA, CPUAssister! Thanks for the information.

Try doing a system restore to the day before you installed the driver. Should fix it. Sorry to hear about your woooh's
