KB908531 update problem

Hi,

While I have reviewed the HP/update problems people are having I do not see
"hpgs2wnd.exe or hpgs2wnf" running in the task manager. I have tried applying
the registry fix but it has no affect on my system. Right clicking a empty
spot on my desktop brings up "VERCLSID.EXE " in the task manager and freezes
my system until I end the process.

I do have a HP deskjet printer

Any advise would be appreciated.

The registry changes mentioned in there are done by the REG file
included in the KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip file, which I offer for
those unfamiliar with humbling through the registry, which is the
heart and brain of Windows.

Extract the ZIP file and afterwards double click the contained REG
file. Let it import into the registry.

Thanks...so am I to assume that since I don't see "hpgs2wnd or hpgs2wnf"
running, I don't have HP's "Share-to-web" on my computer and someting else is
causing my system to freeze because of the update?

Thanks, I have already removed the update and everything functions
normal....I was looking for a permanent fix, but will wait.
