I keep getting this, "Parport: Device has a problem", whenever I run
diagnostic on my HP notebook PC. What is this? Since this started coming up,
my PC is extremely slow now and svchost.exe is killing the processor. Please
help..thanks.

Any chance this is a mis-spelled 'Paperport'? Do you have a scanner or all-in-one printer? Try disconnecting it entirely.

Although I couldn't glean a single theme from the posts, there are many archived posts on the error: http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=Parport+hp+diagnostic&qt_s=Search Drop the word "diagnostic" from the search and there are a few thousand posts. -- Joe =o) >> Stay informed about: What is a Parport Device?

Thanks Bruce, That is funny because this is a laptop and I don't have a printer parallel port on it! I guess I'll have to dig deeper a little or give them a call. Of course calling HP is useless because I know the answer already; do a system restore!!! Thanks though..
