Tray app that loads on startup

Hello,

I've just realized that this problem has already been extensively debated on: http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-1218017-TRAYAPP-msi ... for over 4 months!
It's a bit confusing, but the summarized solution is: uninstall and reinstall your printer!
... I didn't bother to understand.

Hello,

I don't know what your Tray app is, but to prevent it from loading at every startup, do this:
Start => Run, type Msconfig + Enter.
Startup tab, and there you should find Tray app that you can uncheck. OK and then reboot to check.

Hello
The optimization software like those used for registry cleaning has a "backup" restoration option; look for it and try to restore to the date of your last cleanup.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your help.
I did what you told me. But this "TrayApp" is not found in msconfig.
It's Windows that tells me to wait in English while "Trayapp is loading." It seems to be related to a CD drive since the logo that accompanies the loading indicates a CD.
I don't know what it is.
Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

It seems that this solution to the mentioned problem particularly concerns HP printers, doesn't it?

Indeed, it especially concerns HP printers. And is your printer not an HP?
Do you have another device from this brand? (like a burner, for example)
The discussion
http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-1253006-qu-est-ce-TrayApp does indeed raise issues related to everything HP, but it ended abruptly.
On the other hand, this discussion:
http://www.infos-du-net.com/forum/37835-7-tray-app talks about printers without specifying the brand, which doesn't mean it's not HP.

When you open RegCleaner, you have a list of programs. Have you checked that there is nothing related to Tray App?

I'm sorry I can't provide you with a ready-made solution, but it really seems to be a tricky thing.

My computer is an HP. So indeed I have an HP CD burner.
What do you think I should do?

1 - Uninstall your burner.
2 - Restart to check that the Tray app message has disappeared.
3 - Reinstall your burner, whether the Tray app has disappeared or not.
4 - If the Tray app has disappeared, restart to check that the message does not reappear.
5 - Keep me updated.

What may be concerning is that your PC is also a HP, so it might be the source of the problem. If the Tray app does not disappear or comes back, you will need to consider reinstalling Win XP.

Hi,
Well, it was my Canon printer!....
I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. Tray app doesn't bother me anymore.
However, it's Windows that's telling me a new device is installed; I give it the printer path (LPT1) but it doesn't understand. Every time I restart, it notifies me that a new device is installed.

Hello,

Is your printer working normally?
Have you tried ignoring the installation request?

Talk to you later.

The printer is functioning normally.
I ignore the proposal to install new hardware by Windows at each restart.

Hello,

I have had this kind of problem before. It was with a modem.
I didn't find a solution, but suddenly it disappeared without me doing anything, at least nothing intentional.

One thing to try though:
Control Panel => Printers. Right-click on the Canon printer icon ... => Properties => Details tab. Click on the Capture Printer Port button: "Reconnect at startup" should be unchecked.

Until property I follow you, but I don't have a "details" tab, can you give me some clarifications?
Thank you in advance
Best regards

Hello,
Yes, I still have the same problem.
But on top of that, I have a second one.
I wanted to uninstall Diskeeper (a defragmenter) because I thought it might be the cause.
Now I'm left without a defragmenter, because the Windows one won't open, an error message appears.
I can't reinstall Diskeeper either, also getting an error message.
I ran CHKDSK without success.
I can't go back to an earlier restore point.
In short, I'm in trouble.
Thank you for helping me find a solution.
Sincerely
