ITS FIXED!
To make a long story short after 1.5 hours with useless online live support
and 2 hours of very good FREE phone support its working. The phone support
had me delete many files in many locations including the registry
individually, no cleaner program of HP but he had me run a MS cleaner as
well.
Also phone said he did NOT like the file that their web page suggests but
had me use one from the VISTA download page on my XP cmptr. I feel the Vista
program was the key to it as I had cleaned up the computer many times before
and still got 15 BSOD's using the XP version.
