Re: HP Officejet 7310 Driver and Software Issues
Disabling WAI works for me as well.  All of the other recommendation did
not work.

I'd be interested in knowing how you discovered this solution because I am
in awe!  Also, by disabling WIA what does that break?

Lastly, I have spent the last week on the phone with HP to no avail. They
have had me uninstalling the drivers 3-4 times.  Of course that doesn't
fix the problem.  But, I finally got them to escalate to engineering so I
may get a response soon and will let you know.

Re: HP Officejet 7310 Driver and Software Issues
It took hours of scouring through the web before I realized that WIA
is related to printer drivers.  Since I exhausted all the other
suggestions, I thought I might as well try to disable WIA.  Luckily it
worked.

HP really needs to reprogram their drivers.

Re: HP Officejet 7310 Driver and Software Issues
I have recently bought a new PC and installed Windows Service Pack 2
on it. All was fine until the other day when I tried to install my new
HP Photosmart 2710 Printer (it's an all-in-one printer, fax, scanner
& copier) through my Netgear wireless router. I now constantly get
the following error messages:

- svchost.exe application error: "the instruction at "0x009a96bc"
referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be written."

- Data Execution Prevention Error messages

I uninstalled the HP software and the error messages stopped!!

I read with interest this thread which discusses this same problem
(although in relation to a different printer).

The problem in a nutshell appears to be an incompatability between
Windows (possibly SP2 in particular) and the HP drivers (does anyone
know whether these error messages go away if you connect the printer
through a USB cable rather than wirelessly?).  It appears that this
problem is not just confined to the 2710, but also affects other HP
printers.

Anyway the reason for my post is that I was left slightly confused by
the difference of opinion in:

1.  CNeil's post which says that he
disabled the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service using MSCONFIG
and that all is now fine (this is backed up by
[b:263f36aeca]BoBo[/b:263f36aeca]'s and
[b:263f36aeca]rantinori[/b:263f36aeca]'s experiences); and

2.  [b:263f36aeca]pep[/b:263f36aeca]'s post which says:

> "HP insists that WIA is needed to make the scanner work, but after
> trying way too many times to install the software, and checking WIA,

> it's always off and can't be enabled. Without WIA the scanner won't

> work. Not to mention all the error messages when trying to run
> Internet Explorer."

Am I right in thinking that
[b:263f36aeca]pep[/b:263f36aeca] is having a separate problem with
WIA?  Does anyone know if there are any side effects of disabling the
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service using
MSCONFIG?

[color=red:263f36aeca]I would be very interested to know whether
anyone is successfully using a HP printer (particularly a 2710, but
also a 2510 or any other model) wirelessly through a router with
Windows Service Pack 2 installed on their PC. If so, did you have any
problems setting it up?[/color:263f36aeca]

[color=red:263f36aeca][b:263f36aeca]rantinori[/b:263f36aeca]: I'
d also
be interested to hear what the techie guys at HP makes of this.
[/color:263f36aeca]

It seems absolutely ridiculous that you spend a lot of money on a top
of the range printer and then need to waste several hours of your time
trying to get the thing to work because of the shoddy workmanship of
the manufacturer.

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Many thanks.
Reg

Re: HP Officejet 7310 Driver and Software Issues
I tried disabling the WIA service (using the command "services.msc /s" from
Start - Run), and it works great.  I have been able to scan and print to my
HP 7410 with no problems so far.  Before disabling the service, I had the
same problems described elsewhere (multiple scvhost.exe application errors,
problems using Internet Explorer, etc.).  These errors have not reappeared
since WIA was disabled.  I have XP service pack 2 installed on an HP
Pavilion zd7000, and connect to the internet via a wireless Linksys router.
Hope that helps.

Re: HP Officejet 7310 Driver and Software Issues
Please see the reply I received from HP Support in the Uk about this.

"Dear Reg,

Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.

I understand that you are experiencing DEP (Data Execution Protection)

error in "svchost.exe" when you are using HP PSC 2710 All-in-One after

installing SP2. I regret for the inconvenience caused.

This error occurs because Microsoft Windows XP SP2 uses the Data
Execution Prevention (DEP) feature to help prevent damage from viruses

and from other security threats.

DEP works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory

locations as non-executable." If a program tries to run code from a
protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you, whether
the
code is malicious or not.


HP and Microsoft are working on the issues arising after installing
SP2
and soon HP would be releasing Update patch to resolve the issue.

In the mean time, as a work around you can disable WIA(Windows Image
Acquisition) service.

Perform these steps to disable WIA (Windows Image Acquisition)
service:

1. Click Start->Control Panel.
2. Select and Double Click Administrative Tools.
3. Double Click Services.
4. From the Services Window, Locate and Double Click Windows
Image Acquisition (WIA).
5. From the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) properties, select
Startup type under General Tab and select Disabled from the
drop down list.
6. Click Apply and OK to save the changes.
7. Restart the Computer.

If the issue persists, Please follow the steps below:

If your computer is set to apply DEP to all programs and services, the

DEP error message will have a Change Settings button. If an update to

the program is not available, follow these steps to add an exception
for
the program from the DEP error message:

1. When you receive the error message that is mentioned in the
"Symptoms" section, click Change Settings.
2. Click to select the check box next to the program, and then click
Apply.
3. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click OK two times,

and then restart your system.

You can also add an exception for the program by using System
Properties
in Control Panel. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click

Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
2. Click the Advanced tab, click Performance, and then click Settings.

3. In Performance Options, click the Data Execution Prevention tab,
and
then click Add.
4. In the Open dialog box, locate and then click the program.
5. Click Open, click Apply, and then click OK. When you are prompted
to
restart your computer, click OK.

I hope this inforamtion helps. If you need further assistance, please
reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.

Sincerely,

John
HP Total Care"

Thanks,
That worked for me too. I'm wondering what that disabled service is
needed for though.
