Hello,
I have a wireless HP Photosmart 3300 all-in-one printer. I love the printer but every time I start up my laptop (Toshiba), the installer tries to install the photogallery which I do not want. I have Corel's graphics programs and use them for all photos. I have another laptop (Acer) and when I installed my printer, I did not use the disk or install any software. I let the laptop find the printer. I still use my Toshiba (running XP) for certain things but I hate booting it up because I have to keep cancelling this install using the task manager. I have tried uninstalling the software to no avail. Using the Windows Add/remove programs does not work. I click on change/remove and nothing happens. Every other program can be added or remove in that function so I know it is not Windows. If I can't find a way to get this software out of my laptop, I will have to wipe the hard drive. I don't want to do that if I don't have to. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks for your suggestion. I finally did succeed in removing the software but I had to use a separate uninstaller program. It took uninstalls of at least 4 programs which were not visible without the uninstaller program and not detected by Windows. I would recommend that anyone who buys an HP printer not install the software if they have a photo handling program they like. I was using Corel Photo Paint. Thanks again for your help.
