trackrat Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I have just added a HP lightscribe drive to one of my computers and it picked it up no problem.HP had provided a CD with software, so I thought I would install it to have a look.When the icons came up on the desktop, one of them was Symantec so I clicked on the icon to see exactly what it was (big mistake) as soon as I clicked on the icon it started to install so I cancelled it and it gave me the BSOD so I rebooted the computer and the installer came up again which resulted in a BSOD again when I cancelled it.So I tried safe mode and system restore and everthing is back to normal (next was a restore from Acronis) Just a warning if anyone buys a HP lightscribe drive be careful with the HP software disk unless you want Symantec installed, which I certainly did not.

-pops- Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I remember that many years ago an HP printer I had bought contained Norton A/V on one of the driver/software floppies. It installed without asking me and completely buggled up my computer as I had another A/V already in there.That put me off buying anything with an HP badge on it.

andsome Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Company's that put other software in with their products without being asked to need stopping. I can well understand two AV programs causing bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
