dave56 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Hi there! I keep getting this message after startup in XP "An unsupported operation was attempted-hpqSTE08" Although the pc runs normally I can't get rid of this message-any ideas? Thanks .David.:) Quote
RandyL Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Hi dave. Do you have any HP hardware like a printer/scanner? What is your computer? Make/model/number?

Dalo Harkin Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Its related to HP drivers - uninstall your printer drivers and see if it continues. (make sure you can get the print drivers before you remove them) but it can also be Malware - you may want to check with Chiaz about that and post in the Malware section just to be sure Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
dave56 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 I have an hp photosmart c3180 Printer/Scanner and my pc is a Dell Dimension 3100. Thanks. Quote
Dalo Harkin Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 uninstall the driver from add/remove programs and then see if the problem persists, I would say that you have an old driver and software and then get the latest from the HP website Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
Tootech Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Disconnect your printer from the PC before you do the uninstall. Quote
dave56 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 Yes it me again on my PC now. Have tried uninstalling the printer software and then installing an up to date driver but the message won't go away. David. Quote
Plastic Nev Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Dave, did you disconnect the printer? you must pull the plug out before uninstalling the printer software including the drivers. Then reinstall the software, it should prompt you when to plug the printer back in while the software reinstalls. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.
