Windows XP: hpqSTE08.exe error message popping up during startup

hpqSTE08.exe error message popping up during startup

by shyamalmitra - 8/14/09 5:33 AM

Hello to all and sundry at the C-Net Fourms! I need immediate help on a problem I am facing these days at my WinXP ProSP3 32bit OS startup.

A message pops up with an error sound showing the following details:
hpqSTE08.exe
The instruction at "0x14a02807" referenced memory at "0x000000a1" could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program. Click Cancel to debug the program.

Almost simultaneously a Microsoft Send Error Report Dialog Box pops up talking of sending a report on HP Cue error.

I usually have to click OK to continue the startup. I have sent the error reports to MS several times. The message keeps popping up nevertheless. My reinstalling SP3 has not solved this problem. Using Speedbit's Memomory Optimiser has also not helped me.

Please send me you kind guidance in fixing my startup. I use Windows XP Professional 32bit OS with SP3. I have this OS on my desktop PC using Pentium P4 3Ghz 2MB L2 Cache 800Mhz FSB, Intel D945GCCR mainboard and 4GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM.

Thanks and regards.

Do you have an HP printer installed,

like the HP photosmart printer?

if so, perhaps the printer software has become corrupt. I would uninstall the printer software and reinstall it.

Yes I have HP Deskjet F300 series printer scanner copier device plugged in to my PC via USB port. I shall, as advised by you very kindly, uninstal and reinstal this printer and report back my findings to you in this forum.

Thank you,
