I have read a lot of threads on different forums but I could not overcome this issue yet that I have been experiencing for a while. 1- I logged as a user that has admin privilege on Win XP SP3. 2- I am expereincing this problem in both normal and safe modes. 3- Yes I do have hp OfficeJet Pro L7590 driver and utilities installed, on my laptop and desktop ,,,as far as i remember (to be checked) I have got no problem with the laptop , only with desktop. 4- When I had Avast AV free version I had this problem. 5- Then I uninstalled Avast AV and installed ESET smart security same problem still going on. 6- I tried many online scanning to make sure that there is no spyware or malware installed on the system. Any other suggestions ? Thanks Sep 18, 2009 #1 silentdeaath TS Rookie it seems u got urself some trojan or worms...try Process Explorer & Autoruns from SysInternals.. They ll help u have a look at the various processes that are executed at start up and also the currently running..Remove any suspicious ones n see if it helps..also do check the LOGON tab in Autoruns...delete any suspicious registry keys... Note: A lot of trojans,worms and viruses can & are outsmarting the Anti viruses...So try n see if u can heal ur system manually...

Whenever I try to make a change to the startup, I get a "an access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You access denied may need to log on using an Administrator account to make the specified changes". However, I am the administrator when I'm making these changes. The last time I used msconfig was about a year ago, and it worked fine. What's going on? I tried searching for answers, but couldn't find any that would help me snailshell, Dec 5, 2006 #1 Sponsor wr4698er73678 Banned Joined: Nov 25, 2006 Messages: 308 What service are you msconfig access denied attempting to change? wr4698er73678, Dec 5, 2006 #2 snailshell Thread Starter Joined: May 20, 2006 Messages: 31 I was trying to disable the HP Solution Center from starting up following a recommendation to "fix" a bug w/ the solution center snailshell, Dec 6, 2006 #3 Joanyoung Joined: Jun 18, 2004 Messages: 1,122 Do you have Zone Alarm installed? try turning it off and then run msconfig joan Joanyoung, Dec 6, 2006 #4 snailshell Thread Starter Joined: May 20, 2006 Messages: 31 No, I do not have Zone Alarm; here is what I have Windows XP Home SP2 Windows Defender Ad-Aware SE Norton Systemworks w/ AV 2005 Norton Personal Firewall 2005 I have run a full system AV scan, Windows Defender Quick Scan, and Ad-Aware full scan just a few days ago and found nothing. snailshell, Dec 7, 2006 #5 wr4698er73678 Banned Joined: Nov 25, 2006 Messages: 308 can you please go through the procdeure that you are taking to disable this service wr4698er73678, Dec 7, 2006 #6 snailshell Thread Starter Joined: May 20, 2006 Messages: 31 Login under admin account -> Start -> Run ->msconfig -> Startup Tab -> Uncheck "HPWuSch2" -> OK -> "Access Denied Error" -> OK -> Exit with Restart snailshell, Dec 11, 2006 #7 wr4698er73678 Banned Joined: Nov 25, 2006 Messages: 308 Tried disabl
