HPWireless Mrg Module

[William Skinner_1]

Today, I started my my pavilion ze4100 and had this message:

HPWirelessMrg Module has encounted a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvience.

After closing that screen, the background it there, but no icons, and must crlt/alt/del to shut down computer.

Computer does have infared, but no other wireless components. Any ideas? Just out of warranty by 3 months...

Next time you lose your desktop try Ctrl + Alt + Del and select Task Manager then File, New then type in Explorer and press Enter. That may bring it back.

If you are able to get it to boot you can fix it by running HijackThis.exe

http://www.tomcoyote.com/hjt/HijackThis.exe

Scan your system and check the following entry. Then hit Fix Checked.

O23 - Service: HPWirelessMgr - Hewlett-Packard Co. - C:\Program Files\HPQ\Notebook Utilities\HPWirelessMgr.exe

It would be a good idea to do a SCAN and SAVE LOG then post the log as an attachment so I can see if there is some spyware that may be interfering with your HPWireless Mgr

I have an HP Laptop and have the exact same problem as William, but when I ran HijackThis as suggested by Ron, the item in the list for 023 ... HPWirelessMgr.exe was not there!

This happens whether I opt to kill or debug HPWirelessMgr.exe when it fails. HPWirelessMgr.exe always seems to be launched, then fail before login, but this never used to happen. What has changed. I have looked at possoble virus descriptions with the same symptoms and examined suggested processes in task manager in relation to these, but they all appear genuine. Here is the hijackthis log.

Hi

I have the exact same Problem as Andrew, running Hijackthis didn't fix my problem. I have a compaq presario 2500 and at the boot I can't do anything exept running some application with the task manager. I've been troubleshooting this problem for the past 3 days now and still can't figure out how to fix it.
I'd like to attach some logs unfortunately since nothing works fine I can't send it to a floppy or another computer.

Any CLue?

Thanks for any help.
