So, the more pressing issue I have is that I appear to be unable to uninstall my HP printer's software. It's been acting strangly and I'd like to reinstall everything. I can't uninstall:

• HP Imaging Device Functions 6.0
• HP PhotoSmart PremierSoftware 6.0\
• HP PSC & OfficeJet 6.1.A

The second issue I seem to be having is that for a while now I've periodically had winws prepare an installation that never seems to go through. It never really gets past the point of just starting an installation. Really more of an annoyance than anything else. and it only seems to happen once a day, usually when I'm not using the computer. It's not my primary worry, mainly because I can't give any more information about it than that, because I can't reproduce the issue.

Any knowledge about the HP software issues would be wonderful, and any guesses about the second issue would be useful as well.
Thanks in advance!
