apparently I screwed something up on the reformat. I think I reinstalled my office jet over itself. did it once with the "found new hardware" and then again on another "found new hardware "for the same thing, because it asked for the disk again. Then I uninstalled in programs\hp\uninstall. then rebooted several times and am getting the message about Remind.EXE in win ini file. Is it ok to delete the Remind? and where else to look for stuff from hp since I did the search for files and got rid of anything hp or office jet. someone please help with this thanx
