Hello everyone,
I've found a solution on some boards that might help whom who face that
problem with HP and Vista:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had the same error message. I got this response today from HP. I went
through the entire procedure; so far it appears to work. Note the link is
for my HP c6180 printer, but it may be valid for all the All-In-Ones. Good
Luck!
----------------------
I understand from your mail that 'an application failure' error message
appears after exiting Word 2007. I regret for the inconvenience caused to you
and I will certainly assist you in this regard. I seek your kind cooperation.
This issue could occur be related to startup entries running in the
background. Please perform below steps to isolate the issue:
Disabling HP related files from the Startup:
============================================
1.Click Start Icon.
2.Select "run" or select the "Search" box and type msconfig.
3.User Account window may pop up with this message "Windows need your

4.Click continue.
5.Select statup tab.
6.Disable all hp related entries.
7.Restart the computer.
8.Once the computer is restarted, it will show that some startup entries are
bloked. Ignore this message ans continue.
If the issue persists, please uninstall and reinstal the software:
