This is for all those having similar issues. I had downloaded the software successfully. After more downloading of other programs it stopped opening. Then it disappeared from the screen. My solution was to go to the add/remove list and remove anything related to HP K80,  the all in one I use. After that I went to HP and reinstalled the K software driver from their site. I used IE8, download only, and then install. A long process. It is done when REGISTER screen appears. Choose no, don*t remind me and close. I also chose not to set up fax functions on screen. The printer is listed in the large printers screen, the fax is not. The director will now open from the desktop. I hope this helps.
