at windows sign on says unable to start driver

I started seeing it after I downloaded a HP photosmart 1115 driver from there site, however it cannot be deleted without uninstalling the whole driver. When I start up my computer it says it could not start up HPHipm09 so I dont think its needed because my printer still works.

It tries to start (but fail - message) when I do changes at partitions with PartitionMagic, just don't click ok just wait till the main software is finnished. I don't know it does not seem to be dangerous to me...

Seems to be part of the driver for the Photosmart 1000 series printers. I deleted it and the error message went away. But NOTE: I dont have my HP-1000 any more either, so I don't need the driver.

Definitely a HP photosmart 1115 process... pops up with error before and after every single print. Things still work fine though.
