| All comments about hpqtra08.exe: |
 | Part o HP All in one series package |

| MK | It interferes with a wide variety of 3rd party software (from screen readers to ActiveSync) |
| Glen Broderick | hpqtra08.exe is a pain. It constantly crashes in the background makeing it hard to exit windows. HP has a utility for disabling it for many printers. It didn't cover my printer. I think HP should ask before forcing software like this on us. |
| pauljs75 | HP All In One diagnostics. It may send some computer info back to HP. (Triggers some firewall/spyware notices.) Non-essential. Provides tray icon for user access to printer features, as said above. See also: Link |
| Alaric | Had problems with CPU usage alternating between 0-60%. Ended the process on this file and eliminated the problem. |
| Kefka | Can causes lots of hard drive activity while running... |
| chris | this slows the computer down considerably, although it is not malicious. it is not nesessary for printing. |
| | its needed for the functionkeys on hp All in One Printer |
| Gerri | Installs with your hp printer/scanner -- when I installed it with my hpDeskjet F335 all-in-one it slowed my computer to a crawl |
| Bob Jung | I appeared after I installed the drives for my HP wireless printer at home. When I am not at home, I sometimes see evidence that this exe has trouble stopping when I shutdown my PC and once got an error that this exe had problems and aborted. I have been going into task manager and killing this process when I won't be using the printer. |
| Nils Mĺsén | Used up all processor power and froze my clients computer. Came with his HP Printer drivers. |
 Bry | it ties up my processor by 98% for no reason even if my HP printer scanner is off. |
| swazzy | it actually didnt do much to my pc at all. but it helps my ping on games :) |
| Dave Myers | Installed as part of the drivers for my HP all-in-one 7400 series |
| Bruce | For 8 month TrayApp want's to install at startup and can't find the file windows installer goes mad over it. Lately has come up as HP Document viewer, I located a file TrayApp deleted it no change. It even tries to install when I use other pograms. Security Task Manager mite help get rid of it |
| Clancy | Hp all-in-one printer software - according to ms bugtrace, it is the cause of constant full black screen crashes in my system |
| geekno9 | Part of HP Photosmart All-In-One printer software pkg. It is involved in automatically launching software to receive a scanned document sent to the computer via the printer front panel buttons. |
| Gary | Pain the neck - continuously halts shutdown of XP |
| Zzzzack | HP Process File |
| Steve G-E | hpqtra08.exe was a mega pain. After many many weeks of my HP Laptop freezing after 3-4 hours whether I did anything or not, I fixed the problem by quarantining this file. Now my laptop is running continuously with no problems at all. I have only shut it down once in the last 60 hours. What a relief. |
| Tomcat | I have run into the issue of hpqtra08.exe running and not knowing it. I use Task Manager - Processes window to view the CPU usage. this bugger will lock up your CPU at 100%. I just 'end process' and the computer begins working well again. |
| GV | This is an important component of HP AiO Program. If you disable this program, HP AiO can't see computer. |
| zwoggl | trouble when shutting-down Windows XP |
| Jason A. | On Vista 64, just noticed that it started using between 0-35% of my Pentium Extreme Edition (840) CPU. This behavior seemed to occur after I installed MS Office 2007! |
| Ernst | It creates humongous numbers of ver###.tmp files in ...%user%\AppData\Local\Temp under Windows Vista Home Premium. The files are created at the rate of approx. one every three seconds. I deleted (with difficulty) ~36,000 files, disabled hpqtra08.exe and the problem disappeared. |
| Ed | This file, self executing, causes PC instablity. Search and find the file on the computer, then open task master, kill the damn thing on task master, then erase the file that "Search" found. It is not necessary for printing. It is a recent download |
| Liam Roche | It uses huge amount of CPU time on my new Vista PC. Filesize 210520 bytes |
| Randy | It tries up my precessor by 98 percent |
| iLOVEspam | As far as I can tell, it's an executable file used to launch HP Installation Package for a periphrial device. This file is setup to lauch upon boot. If you are being bothered by this error message every time you boot, you can easily disable the executable by altering the Startup Items for the computer. Start Run. In the Run box type "msconfig" and hit enter. This will launch the systems Configuration Utility. Click on the Startup Tab, expand the "command" column by double clicking or draging the separator. Find the file that ends with "hpqtra08.exe". Uncheck boxes. Apply, Reset. |
| pippo | this exe has trouble stopping when I shutdown my PC |
| Derk | Did get it with an HP Photosmart printer. Pushes my processor to 100% all the time |
| imobius | It slows down the PC, becomes unstable and needs to be terminated at shutdown and is complete, COMPLETELY, un |
| Jessica | Came with my HP printer. Has caused my laptop to run hot because of its constant activity. Ended the process and the laptop immediately went back to its normal processes and fan usage. |
| Arne Nielsen | If you cant delete the file, use and old Norton Commander, it works together with XP. Try a more than twice and you will succed. |
| jrk | it was installed when the wireless printer was added to my 3 computer network but doesn't run properly with my other software |
| Dr Jim | that it is taking 90+% of CPU time, when it should not . |
| Arnab Banerjee | generic Host Problem |
| Anne Sayers | It appears each time I shut down, and can,t log off until I have manually ended.the file.. |
| Jelleton | i believe the high cpu usage stops by the time you stop participate in that hp survey about printer-usage. (you certainly have been asked during the installation). At least to stop allowing the programm sending that information worked in my case.. |
| mikie | when this application is running, I cannot get on the internet. If I ctrl alt delete then stop the application, everything is fine. |
| Liam Roche | This program, provided by HP, causes very severe problems. 100% CPU/core usage is common, and a window flashes every 1 second on Windows Vista. HP are well aware of the problems appear to be unconcerned about any damage done to customers. |
| David Barnes | It always cause problems when I shut down my computer. |
| sam | this file has been producing fragmented filed on my computer up to 42% twice per day. I personaly think it is a virus. i got it when asking HP online for help (totally useless) |
| Gary | There is a patch on HP's web site not mentioned under QTR008: use the following link and install the patch. This corrects the problem if your printer is connected by LAN:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndes?lc=en&lang=en&cc=us&os=228&softwareitem=oj-27722-1 I don't know if it fixes USB or not, but it didn't affect the functions of HP director at all, but it did fix the problem!

| VeMan | This is sitting in the Startup Menu, but has an error when trying to load during Startup, and shuts down with a "send Error" Prompt. It doesn't actually load so it never causes a problem. I'm just not sure of the best way to get rid of it. |
| Lind | End Task warning window pops up when shutting down, and has to be manually ended. Not sure if it hurts anything, but totally confuses my 89 yr old mother who surfs the web. |
| CB | HP-Software, wird benötigt zum Scannen über Netzwerk, verursachte bei mir 50% Cpu-Last und Probleme beim Neustart |
| Jim R | Appeared when installing HP Printer 7280 drivers/services; causing Device I/O error/message upon shutdown; caused CPU tasking monopolization; removed from Startup folder and stopped CPU and shutdown error messages |
| John D | Stops Windows XP from shutting down - it is a pain. |
| cdrk | hpqtra08.exe is a pain. Part of HP scanners and printers. It slows down the computer, it opened tons of stupid pop-ups warning me about my colour ink cartridge [that I never use as I print text only]. I found no other way than renaming it [removing the .exe] to get rid of this stupid thing [I didn't wanted to delete it, just in case...]. Since then I can print with no stupid warnings slowing down the PC and forbiding me to access other softwares and the PC is acting normal. |
| Dean | This program caused photoshop elements to load photos in about 45 seconds. When I figured it out and disabled it, my photos loaded in 2 seconds. |
| Peter | destroyed vista experience of new pc. biggest problems of new PC. big mistake by HP |
| | I think it is linked to atl71.dll |
