Reload the OS. (no OS stated by you, windows what?)
on all hp, press the F11 key at power on.
power on , and quickly hammer the F11 key (recovery)
next see the recovery page.
now pick fully restore
if you have data to save ? , that would be first,
then recovery,
this works on all HP from 2006 to now.
what you lack is Admin privileges. (power words)
if you had told the OS you run, there are hacks to make that work in most cases. (not so easy on w10 )
to test this fact
go to control panel
click users, see you? your login, name sure, click that and try to
set admin, privileges, it will now let you. nor let you manage other accounts, that is because your login is using non admin mode.
SOURCE: cant scan from hp 3110 photosmart printer
You are having hardware communication problems caused, very likely, by driver installation troubles. Go into CONTROL PANEL and then SYSTEM and then DEVICES and look for the scanner there under IMAGING DEVICES and check to see if it has an exclamation mark next to it, or if any other device has this mark, meaning that drivers are not installed for it. If there is no scanner but you have a warning icon labeled UNKNOWN DEVICE, this is the problem. If you find any non-functioning hardware devices, this is probably it.
Try this as a fix. Unplug the cable to the printer/scanner.
Go online to HP and download the latest drivers and utilities for the scanner/printer and save them to your desktop.
In CONTROL PANEL, open ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS. Scan down and remove (uninstall) anything related to the HP printer or scanner, everything. Then reboot. Then install the drivers and utilities on your desktop you saved previously, plugging in the unit when prompted to do so. If you are never prompted, plug it in at the very end when everything is installed. If this routine fails, try rebooting the system without the HP scanner plugged in, wait for a complete start-up, and then plug the scanner into a different USB port and follow the directions on screen taking note of any failure messages. PS: the scanner/printer needs to be powered on through all of this, of course. :>)
Good luck

SOURCE: I can't delete ArcSoft software from my add/remove area
I'll tell you, but you're going to have to go the long way. Best method I'm aware of.
Plus I suggest you download CCleaner. CCleaner is a free registry cleaner. (Don't let the fact that it is free, dissuade you one bit! It's a better registry cleaner program than the PAID for one's are! )
After you delete a program there are 'tidbits' left behind. Fragmented files. These take up space also, and in essence are just junk. Like having partial pages torn out of a book. A registry cleaner rids you of them.
This is information about CCleaner from Wikipedia.org,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCleaner
After you view the information, and wish to download CCleaner, simply go to the right of the page, under the illustration, and click on the website address.
After you download CCleaner, come back if you wish, and I'll explain the easy way of how to run the program.
Long way of deleting a program, but assurance that it will be gone. (After using CCleaner also)
Windows XP Home running, Left-click on Start.
Hover your mouse cursor on All Programs, go up to Accessories, over and down to Windows Explorer, and click on it. (This isn't Internet Explorer, in case you are not familiar with Windows Explorer)
After Windows Explorer has loaded, go up to the top header. Left-click on Tools. Now on Folder Options in the drop down list. Finally Left-click on the View tab.
In the list, go down to where there is a yellow folder with - Hidden files and folders - to the right of it.
Below this you will see an empty circle, and to the right of it - Show hidden files and folders
Left-click once in this box.
Now go below to the right, and Left-click on Apply. Finally go down to the left, and click on OK.
After you do this a Microsoft 'squawk box' will come up. "Warning you are.........."
It's okay. Click on OK if present.
The reason this warning box comes up is that a user can delete necessary Windows files, IF, they do not know what they are doing.
I'm not going to guide you towards destructing your Windows operating system, rest assured. We are not going anywhere near Windows files. Just the ArcSoft program file that's about to hit the trashcan.
When you open Windows Explorer, the default setting is to automatically open your My Documents folder. You can see a negative sign ( - ) next to My Documents in the 'file tree' to the left, and the contents of your My Documents folder to the right.
I like to close the file tree for My Documents. Less clutter, and less chance of getting confused.
If you are of the same mind, go up to the - sign next to My Documents, and Left-click right on the - sign. It will turn into a + sign, and close that part of the file tree.
Now Left-click on the + sign next to,
1.My Computer
2.Then - Local Disk (C:)
3.Now scroll down to - Program Files
Scroll through these programs. See ArcSoft? Left-click on the ArcSoft name. The individual folders and files will appear on the right, in the large window.
Now double-click on a Folder. The folder will open, and display individual files. Right-click on a File, then in the drop down menu, Left-click on Delete.
You may not be able to delete the entire folder for ArcSoft, (Too large for Recycle Bin), but you can delete individual files, until the folders are empty 'husks'.
Then you can use the Back arrow at the upper left, and Right-click on the folder/s. Delete them.
You may come to a file that has an extension - .dll
You may not be able to delete this type of file. It's okay. After you shut down your computer, wait 1 minute, come back into Windows Explorer, and try it again.
Finally use CCleaner, and get rid of the file fragments.
I know this is long, and I apologize in advance. has worked for me to delete stubborn programs for years. (Norton, AOL, and others)
Has worked better than using the Uninstall feature, if the program comes with one, and any Uninstall option listed on the Internet for a program.
Have questions? I'm all ears.
